Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, 80-H-D years of all types.

Thank you for tuning in to this very special edition of ADHD rewired. This is episode 100. When I began planning this episode, I knew I wanted it to be really special. So I did what I typically do when I put that kind of pressure on myself, I overthink things for a while, but then I asked

you, I went to the ADHD Facebook community, and I asked for ideas, and Kim Trumbo responded with the suggestion that created this episode.

She suggested that I ask you how has this podcast helped you and what has it meant to you?

So during two recording sessions, I had 12 people join me. Some of them are voices that you will recognize from past shows. But I wanted something more than that.

Something that really speaks to what this podcast has really been all about.

Something that that shows my appreciation for all the past guests and experts who have come on and shared their stories,

their strategies, and have been vulnerable and shared this journey with us together.

I wanted something that really showed what 80-H-D rewired is all about.

I wanted something kind of like this.

The way I visualize my AEDD is I picture a house that's filled with four-year-olds.

I am like a small company and the chief executive officer is brilliant,

but everyone else on staff sucks.

The whole support staff is horrible.

They don't get anything done.

You know, those are all the executive functions.

What I like about the executive functioning view of adult ADHD is that it brings with

it all of these insights not just for understanding but for management that you wouldn't get if you kept

viewing ADHD as an attention disorder.

Someone with ADHD and someone without you can be from the same parents in the same environment.

The experience, the perceptions in real time are different.

ADHD is like getting rejected.
