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

Hey everyone I'm Susan Coffin in for Attitude magazine and you're listening to

Attitudes ADHD experts. Our topic today is sensitivity. People with attention deficit

disorder are sensitive, so emotionally and physically

sensitive. We become angry, really angry, sometimes in a heartbeat or sad or frustrated. And living with these kinds of mood swings that

ADHD years have can make life really difficult for everyone around them and of

course for those who are living it as well we're really pleased today to have Zoe Kessler back to

Attitudes, ADHD experts from a second webinar. Zoe is unique out there in that she's a

best-selling author, a journalist and a speaker.

She's not a scientist, she's not a medical practitioner, which she's proud of doing and does

extremely well is put the face to ADHD, tell us the story of what it's like to live

the tension deficit disorder across the life cycle.

And this is something that she is just fabulous at,

and so we're very fortunate to have her today.

Her most recent book which I want to recommend to all of you is 80-HD according to Zoe,

the real deal on relationships, finding your focus and finding your keys.

You can read more about Zoe on our website, Zoe Kesseler.com, and also check out her writing

for attitude on AttitudeNag.com and she also blogs for Huffington Post and for Psych

Central. So Zoe, thank you so much for joining us today. We're so grateful for your time.

Oh, thank you, Susan. I'm thrilled to be back. The first points that I want to make are based on research.

So everything that we're talking about here is based on somebody's study. Children and adults with ADHD, we are more

sensitive and it's not just physical sensitivities, it's also emotional sensitivities.
