This week’s episode is a little longer than typical, and a little different. Instead of starting with a check in, we will be starting out with our Deep Dive. When we listened to the recording of this week’s check in, Jason realized that there was an opportunity to add some content in the form of a deep dive. That information will be helpful in processing the conversation we have in our check in.

In our Deep Dive this week we discuss neuroplasticity, specifically the way it relates to the ADHD brain. Neuroplasticity is a relatively new concept that describes the brain’s ability to change and adapt on the physical level to changes in stimulation, thoughts, and the environment. This is not split-second adaptability, but the type that happens over time. In short, we discuss how our brain can be trained into new ways of working. This is particularly beneficial for those of us with ADHD.

Our Check In starts out with Edward discussing the changes that he is experiencing at work. Obviously the a new client in the home is a big change and challenge for his adaptability. Edward also brings up that the office situation is changing and he will be working more in the middle of the house. This open Edward up to more stimulation and a greater number of potential distractions. Jason offers advice in the form of new skills and approaches to Edward’s job. Edward finds it hard to process the information, but through communication and some time Jason assists Edward in understanding the steps and processes involved.
