Translating the Neurotypical World into ADHD-ese- 2020

Inspiring quotes, stories of people who pulled themselves up by the bootstraps; the how-to book that changed a friend’s life and she now begs you to read it; an online course about setting boundaries or living happily on a budget has your co-worker over the moon. Maybe you buy them all or possibly you park them in your Amazon cart, so you’ll be forced to decide soon, only to discover that when you dig in, the content seems useful– just not life-altering.

Why do some things resonate so powerfully for others and not for you? You feel let down and once again, like an outsider. Without realizing it, your brain processes another “defeat”. The world “got” something that you don’t. Well, bull shirt as Ellen of The Good Place, says. The reality: Around the clock, our world translates revolutionary ideas and the self-improvement books into 30+ languages ….just not into ADHD-ese. What to do? Become the brilliant expert translator for your uniquely wired brain.
