If ADHD is a disorder, can it also be a gift or even a superpower? Some people say that it is. People with ADHD are often acutely aware of their struggles which can ravage self-esteem, so it’s natural to seek ways to feel better about themselves. It’s certainly true that individuals with ADHD have many gifts, but there are risks to claiming that ADHD itself is what provides those gifts.
In this session, view Ari Tuckman and Jessica McCabe as they integrate the impact of ableism on how disorders are defined, address the risks of toxic positivity, and assist clients to navigate social expectations for performance.
