Summary

Focus. Productivity. Relationships. Distraction. Neurodiversity. How do you know if you have ADHD? How can you get others to understand your ADHD brain? What are your treatment options and how can they help? In this encore of our wildly popular Part 1 episode, we talk racing thoughts, brilliant brains and the causes and effects of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder with the world’s leading expert, Dr. Russell Barkley who is A BIG DEAL. Psychologist, retired professor of clinical psychiatry, author and speaker, Dr. Barkley has a personal connection to ADHD and has studied it for nearly 40 years. Is it all cute quirks? Nope. It’s serious business. But next week, we’ll hear about tips and tricks and self-love from 3 more experts — Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD, René Brooks of Black Girl Lost Keys and ADHD researcher Dr. Jahla Osborne. I’M TRYING NOT TO USE A BUNCH OF EXCLAMATION POINTS. It’s exciting.

Oh, hey, it's me in 2025. And as we gear up for some new episodes in January, and we take a week or so to travel and see our families and do some resting, I wanted to re-air an encore of Ongo's most popular episode to date. I've heard from literally hundreds of you that these episodes and experts have changed, maybe saved your lives. It's the 22 ADHD episodes with the world's foremost researchers

he wanted me to include as an update, and he said, nothing earth-shattering to note. Feel

Nat stuck to your lip gloss. Allie Ward. ADHD, it's here. It's here. Take a minute. Just breathe.

It's exciting. Here we go. Okay. Who does one get for an ADHD episode? You ask me, your internet dad, when there are so many doctors and researchers and bloggers and TikTok coaches out there. Who do you get? You start at the top. The guy. You get the guy who has written more books than I can count. I literally was trying to count them and I had to stop and eat a granola bar. I was fatigued.

But you may know him by the ADHD Bible taking charge of ADHD, which just released a new,

expanded, fresh as hell, updated edition in November. I have it. It's great. He also wrote 12

principals for raising a child with ADHD. When an adult you love has ADHD, professional

advice for parents, partners, and siblings. He is to ADHD what Oprah is to talk shows,

1:33.3

the gold standard. So not only has he been a professor of psychiatry and neurology,

1:38.5

a clinical professor of psychiatry, and is cited in nearly every modern paper on ADHD,

but he also takes it to the streets.

And by that, I mean YouTube. His lecture videos are swiftly paced and have views in the millions.

People in the comments are crying in relief. I was so nervous. We reached out. He obliged.

We recorded my palm sweat. I decided this needs to be a two or maybe a

Renee Brooks of Black Girl Lost Keys, and Jala Osborne, who's a researcher at University of Michigan.
