Today’s guest is Lance Adams and what an episode you are about to listen to.  Lance has a heart for instilling confidence in our youth.  He has spent a great deal of time all over the world helping kids and teenagers realize their strengths.  Not only realize them, but use them in a way that pushes them forward in life.  This episode also proves that people with ADHD and/or Autism naturally have the traits that truly great people possess.  I cannot say enough about today's guest as his heart is definitely in the right place.  Most of us with ADHD have a caring heart...it's about having the confidence to believe in it and use it to help others.

As we dive deeper into ADHD, we will be doing this as an ADHD team on Season 5.  I will have a group of fellow neurodivergents alongside me to discuss a specific ADHD topic that one of them has a great interest in.  Today's topic is the ADHD Tax and it was chosen by Dorsey McFadden who brings an incredible knowledge of ADHD to the table. 

 It is important to understand that people with ADHD have a natural understanding of our fellow ADHDers.  We are a team and teammates can sometimes disagree with each other.  We all have strong opinions, and each of us has a unique style in which we present them.  But I feel that this is what makes us so strong.  We have strong opinions because we care so much about ADHD and mental health. …And caring matters.  So we will start this season on the discussion of The ADHD Tax….Let the  ADHD Wildfire Intensify…..

Today’s guest goes by the name of Blushing Crafter and she is from Norway.  Blushing is a live streamer on twitch and I highly advise you look her up and watch her streams on mental health.  If you are self-diagnosed with ADHD, this episode is for you as she and I discuss the validity of self-diagnosis as it relates to ADHD.  Blushing was awesome to have on the show and she brought up some extremely valid points that anyone with ADHD could take to heart.  Some of these issues have not been mentioned in any episode yet and I learned a great deal from her journey.  As always, be inspired by listening to Blushing Crafter and I discuss her difficulties and her inspirational successes…

Today’s guest is Lauren and she is someone I now consider to be a close friend after only speaking with her for a little over an hour.  Diagnosed at age 26, she refused to take medication for the first year and I can relate to this because I used to hate meds as well.  We discuss everything from the stigma behind ADHD, to the motivating aspects of it, to celebrating her recent achievements! Sometimes in life, you talk to someone that you feel you have been close with forever…what an honor this truly was.  Listen while she & I fight for those people that are currently feeling down or struggling w/ADHD. Enjoy as THIS IS MOTIVATION AT IT’S HIGHEST LEVEL!

Today’s guest is Dan Corkhill.  He is 25 years old and currently resides in London. We discuss everything from the issues with the treatment of mental health issues in the UK, to finding a way to flip to description from disorder to power.  Dan was recently diagnosed with ADHD two years ago at age 23 AND WHAT A GAME-CHANGER HIS DIAGNOSIS HAS HAD ON HIS LIFE.  He is now confident and willing to showcase his achievements which in my opinion, is one of the most important things someone with ADHD can do.  I highly recommend you follow him on twitter @ramblingadhd because he has some true insight on ADHD.  Enjoy listening to one of the most influential episodes thus far.
