Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD

People with ADHD are Great at Making Assumptions


Listen Later

One trait that many with adults with ADHD are good at is making assumptions. However in most cases, those assumptions are about negative outcomes of various situations. We assume that when our boss or client calls a meeting or calls us, it's to discuss a negative situation or to speak with us about a job that was not done properly. We also assume that some people do not like us or do not understand us. And many of us assume that the car next to us is going to cut us off on the highway.

Dave talks about why making assumptions only adds stress to our lives and he discusses a couple very simple strategies to implement in your life to start the process of not assuming everything is bad. Sometimes it's as simple as rewriting the conversation in your head.

If you have a habit of assuming the worst in all kinds of situations, join Dave for this short podcast about ADHD and assumptions.
