Hot take: ADHD behavior is a normal variant, not a disorder. This is what our guest, Dr. Idit Hazan believes.

Dr. Idit Hazan, a professor of Biology at Grand View University, redefines what it means to embrace neurodivergence in medicine and beyond. Through her journey as a parent and professional, Dr. Hazan recognized traits in herself that align with ADHD, helping her reframe her challenges as strengths and fueling her creativity and problem-solving skills.

In this episode, Dr. Hazan shares how her experiences as a parent and professor helped her uncover the hidden strengths of an ADHD brain. She reflects on how embracing outside-the-box thinking has shaped her approach to problem-solving and innovation. As a professor of Biology at Grand View University, she demonstrates how leaning into neurodivergence can drive meaningful change.

Dr. Hazan offers insights on balancing life as a parent of three college-aged kids, a professor, and someone who embraces neurodivergent thinking. Her story challenges the narrative of ADHD as a deficit and highlights the potential of neurodivergence to unlock creativity. Through her 20 years of teaching genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology, she brings a unique scientific perspective to understanding how ADHD traits can be reframed as strengths rather than deficits.
