2. ADHD has been labeled a disorder, syndrome, problem creator in society. People with ADHD can leave a wake of destruction and very exasperated people around them. Kids have been labeled as problems, nuisance, disturbed, special needs. Kids have been abused because they have the traits of ADHD (misunderstood).

3. Bigger Problem – New research is being done everyday… finding real tangible evidence that shows there is a definite difference in the brain structure, functions, as well as, digestive system issues that augment the issues of having traits of ADHD. Parents, adults, and kids are struggling, trying to find solutions to ever growing population that is being diagnosed, with ADHD, (worse, being incorrectly diagnosed).

4. Medication can help OR worsen the problem, no one knows which medication will work for each person, so it’s really a game of brain chemical Russian roulette. The internet is filled with anecdotal, living room stories, guesses, and finger-pointing.

5. Most people are focused on the negative attributes. We are just beginning to understand that there is a real reason for these traits. Parents, adults and kids – don’t have any tried and true way of understanding, containing and redirecting the enormous brain energy that comes from having the traits of an ADHD Brain.

6. So many people see ADHD as impulsivity, distractibility, hyper-activity. The positive traits of ADHD are creativity, curiosity, and energy!

7. With all the distractions today in our world, these Gifted People are going to be the ones who are able to correctly take all the incoming information, digest it, conceptualize it, and create new ways of performing operations, and creating products that will save the world in ways like never before. (Edison, Wright Brothers, Columbus, Einstein, Steve Jobs.)

8. School curriculums that strengthen and support ADHD-type thinkers and doers. Less drugs being incorrectly prescribed to our children. Kids growing up with self-esteem instead of being branded a problem.. Change the drug abuse, and alcoholism, and addiction that is so prevalent with ADHD.
