It’s been twelve years since my wife and I received the green light to make a documentary about a comedian getting diagnosed with ADHD. ‘ADD & Loving It?! was a runaway success and the website, TotallyADD, has drawn millions of views from millions of people. That initial program spawned a sequel, ‘ADD & Mastering It!’, more than a dozen full-length programs on every aspect of ADHD, and scores of short videos. In all, I’ve had the privilege to interview 70 experts and numerous adults with ADHD. But after all those conversations and online webinars there are some quotes, some answers, that struck like lightning and still resonate with me today. The experience of these experts is diverse, they address a variety of challenges, but these all of these insights resonate with compassion and hope. Each left me moved, comforted, even relieved. Let’s look at my favourites quotes which have remained powerful and timeless.
