Zoned In ADHD Coaching

Great read from ABC on ADHD.

There are so many anecdotes here that resonate with the ADHD experience. Here is one that I found particularly relatable:

"At first, with my diagnosis, I was like: 'Am I me? Or is my personality a property of my symptoms?'" - Scott Wynands.

Realizing so many of your behaviors, thoughts and social processes can be attributed to symptoms of ADHD can be really conflicting to navigate. You feel relief when the things you consider negative about yourself like being forgetful, late, or disorganized to actually be explained by ADHD. Then you feel lost when you start to consider if your creativity, your spontaneity, and your deep empathy for others might also be ADHD.

If this is something you would like support with, reach out to us at Zoned In, we walk alongside our clients as they navigate the uncharted waters of ADHD in their life to find new shores of understanding and prosperity.

Scott 'lost lots of jobs' because of ADHD. He wants others to know what the condition is like As a child Scott Wynands was "very hot tempered" and inquisitive — once putting a sandwich in a VHS player — but being diagnosed with ADHD at 43 helped him make sense of his life's trajectory.
