Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

I'm Wayne Callen and you're listening to the second of four ADHD

Awareness Month webinars. Today's webinar is about accepting, owning, and

moving forward with your ADHD.

Lots of us living with ADHD get stuck managing symptoms or a victim of daily negative thinking

that prevents us not only from tackling the challenges of life but learning to like and love ourselves.

Adults often ask us here at attitude, is my goal to work hard at changing myself

to function like neurotypicals or to fully understand my

relationship with ADHD and to use the positive things of the disorder to live a

happy fulfilling life.

Today Emily Ann Holt will give us strategies and approaches for achieving success in the workplace, at home,

and in dealing with many strong emotions that can shut us down or send us off on a roller coaster ride.

She's the right person to give us the clues to success.

She studied adults with ADHD who found success in happiness and learned how to leverage the

disorder as a positive force in their lives. Emily is a psychotherapist and

psychological consultant practicing in San Francisco.

If you haven't already watched it, I heartily recommend that you watch Emily's TED Talk on ADHD.

It's called The Trouble with Normal, my ADHD, The Zebra.
