Ever wondered how the pressure cooker of college admissions impacts the mental health of our youth? Our esteemed guidance counselor, Caroline Farmer takes us through the hallways of their career, navigating the complex intersection of education and mental health. From the early days as a social worker to the triumphs and trials within the walls of a Title One school, their story unfolds, offering rare insights into the transformative power of support and understanding for students facing behavioral issues and beyond. 

Listen as Caroline peels back the curtain on the evolution of mental health awareness over the last twenty years, particularly when it comes to conditions like ADHD and anxiety. The conversation moves from the personal to the universal, revealing the seismic shift in how educators, parents, and students themselves approach learning differences and the tools needed to succeed. The pandemic's toll and its silver lining in fostering greater mental health dialogue also feature prominently, reminding us that every small victory is a stepping stone to resilience.

In the final chapter of this journey, the spotlight turns to the celebration of individual strengths and the remarkable potential within each student. Stories of those who've harnessed their learning differences and turned them into superpowers abound, providing not only inspiration but also practical wisdom on the importance of self-advocacy and finding the right educational path. Through our guest's reflective lens, we're encouraged to look within and honor our own capabilities, leaving us with a powerful message of self-affirmation and hope. Join us for a conversation that's not just about education, but about the courage to face life's challenges head-on.

Gather round the crackling warmth of Lobow's lakeside retreat, where Lobow & UP4thechallenge peel back the layers of our podcasting adventure, one reflection at a time.  We examine the contrast between the tangible vibrancy of recording side by side and the sometimes sterile touch of podcasting across the digital divide. It's a heartfelt interlude that meanders through the realms of mental health (specifically ADHD, Autism, and OCD), the pursuit of control, and the subtle ways these forces shape our friendships and the very essence of our show. Sit with us as we unravel the complexities of maintaining authenticity in a world where online personas often overshadow real-life identities, discussing the nuanced ballet of social adaptability that we all perform.

As the embers of our conversation glow, we pivot to the sanctuaries of comfort and understanding within our relationships, both virtual and in the flesh. Here, we navigate the choppy waters of being misconstrued, championing the cause for empathy in recognizing the diverse mental landscapes that make us uniquely ourselves. Whether it's feeling misunderstood based on outward appearances or negotiating the dynamics of a partnership where one thrives online, this episode is a mosaic of our personal experiences and insights. Join us as we toast to the new year and the enduring power of connection that binds us all.

When Christophe walked into our studio, his story immediately struck a chord. On the cusp of 40, he never expected that his wife's dual diagnosis of ADHD and autism would lead to his own revelation of living with undiagnosed ADHD. As we peel back the layers of his journey, you'll discover how embracing neurodivergence can redefine personal success, and why standardization in our society often misses the mark in acknowledging individual strengths.

Our candid conversation with Christophe—a seasoned hypnotherapist—takes us through the serendipitous moments of recognizing ADHD traits in oneself and the paradoxical strengths they bring. Whether it's being a 'jack-of-all-trades' in an IT department or tapping into social chameleon skills, this episode celebrates the quirks and the qualities that make us who we are. We laugh about our shared experiences on the frontline of adaptability, and we provide an insider's guide to navigating the diagnosis process in the UK. This isn't just about one man's insight; it's an open door to understanding and harnessing the potential within a neurodiverse brain.

Wrap up your earbuds, because we're about to unpack the transformative impact of therapy, laughter, and kindness on mental health.  And remember Christophe's takeaway: whether you're spreading positivity through your digital presence or learning a new language, the simplest acts can be the most profound. So, let's chuckle, nod, and maybe even tear up a bit as we affirm the profound effects of empathy and humor. Join us for a session that's as entertaining as it is enlightening, and walk away with the mantra that might just make the world a better place: "Don't be a dick."

Ever have one of those days where you realize you've been running on autopilot, hardly checking in with your own emotions, let alone your loved ones? Our engaging discussion on the Lobow's Spark Podcast serves as a gentle (but aggressive) nudge towards the significance of regular check-ins, not only for the health of our relationships but also for our mental well being. We shed light on the importance of not isolating oneself and how showing up for each other can drastically affect our mental health.

Imagine navigating through the stormy seas of stressful emotions and mastering the art of harnessing your passion amid tough situations. This podcast episode unfolds the immense power of journaling and the role of your heart, especially while dealing with powerful emotions like anger. We also touch upon impactful topics such as overcoming imposter syndrome, managing ADHD, and the transformative journey towards an alcohol-free life, offering a lifeline to listeners in their turbulent times. 

What if you had a "reset day" that could supercharge your productivity? Our spirited discussion in the Spark Speed Challenge chapter explores the idea of a "reset day" and how it can be a game-changer. We believe that accomplishing even one task can be a source of contentment.  Authenticity and self-validation are our parting thoughts, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our strengths and validating our own experiences. It's not just another podcast; it's a conversation that may just change your perspective on life.  Let's Go!!!

What if uncovering the roots of your struggle with anxiety, attention, or substance use led you to a surprising realization? Imagine tracing those roots back to a generational trauma linked to undiagnosed neurodivergence in your family. That's a journey many of us embarked upon, including yours truly, leading to late-life ADHD diagnoses that reverberated through our family dynamics. We offer a candid exploration of the ripple effects of these discoveries, including the inherited coping mechanisms and behavioral patterns that can carry heavy burdens such as substance dependence.

Unraveling our own neurodivergence led us to recognize some startling behaviors learned from our families, like using food as a crutch or wrestling with social anxiety. Hear firsthand accounts of our participants who discovered ADHD later in life and the unique challenges and insights it brought to their familial relationships. Our stories underscore the crucial importance of breaking generational cycles and the power of awareness in setting ourselves on a path of positive transformation.

Finally, we tackle the often overlooked aspect of such a profound revelation - the toll it takes on our mental health and the strength it requires to confront and process our traumas. With vulnerability and honesty, we share how we're navigating these challenges, building bridges of understanding with our loved ones, and embracing our neurodivergence. We believe in the power of open dialogue about mental health and the role it plays in shattering stigmas. Come join us on this journey as we shed light on a lesser-discussed aspect of mental health - the echoes of generational trauma through the lens of neurodivergence.

Have you ever thought about how ADHD is like a wild roller-coaster ride, full of twists, turns, and unexpected squirrel moments? Well, strap in folks, because today, I'm going to take you on a journey through the ups and downs of my personal ADHD adventure that recently culminated in a technology mishap.

I turned that obstacle into an opportunity, a metaphorical lesson on handling executive dysfunction with the power of genuine friendship.

You'll hear directly from members of our ADHD group who share their experiences and the strength they draw from this safe, supportive space.

Buckle up and get ready for a raw but engaging episode.  Today we chat with Canadian ADHD friend and survivor of abuse, Courtney Dedo.  Courtney is yet another example of an ADHDer with amazing qualities that actually matter in life.  She thinks outside the box, she loves to help others, and she is perceptive (just to name a few). Courtney backs up all of these amazing qualities with a great sense humor.  It is for these reasons it is an honor to say Courtney…
You Are…Something for Someone.

Today's ADHD friend is Guy Farmer and he is one of my best friends.  ADHD & Emotion…We talk face to face about this with Guy who has recently been through the loss of his father.  He and I grew up together and in this episode, we will discuss what it feels like to lose someone so close to you.

Guy Farmer is a passionate musician whose journey began in the humble corridors of his middle school. A natural with the guitar and a born songwriter, Guy played in several bands during his high school years, later captivating audiences every Friday night with his own band, The RiverSide Rounders. Shortly after graduating college, Guy's talent was recognized by WaterWorks Entertainment music publishing, who signed him in 2007. From then on, he has been consistently writing and performing music, with his debut album 'Guy Farmer' hitting the shelves in 2008. Though he hasn't released more albums, Guy has been diligently recording songs. In fact, he's amassed enough music for five full albums! In 2019, he planned to release a new EP, 'Micro Dose', but the pandemic's arrival in 2020 delayed the release. Fast forward to this summer, and 'Micro Dose' is set for release! It will be available on iTunes and several streaming services. A lover of tangible music mediums, Guy will also be offering CDs with an embedded download code, allowing fans to add the tunes to their devices. Because for Guy, it's all about spreading happiness through music!

Because Guy is such a close frined of mine, it is a true honor to say that GUY, YOU ARE…SOMETHING…FOR SOMEONE….And that someone is me.  Thank you.

Let's get honest and think about the things in ourselves that we don't like and how we can give ourselves the grace and understanding we (and those around us) deserve. This group episode centers around how to embrace the annoying ADHD traits within us.  A difficult discussion to say the least but an important one. Lets explore the simple power of self-reflection and see how it can lead to better understanding, acceptance and compassion. Come along with us as we delve headfirst into this journey and acknowledge the parts of ourselves we may not be so fond of and then finish with true love for one another.  Brave ADHD friends featured are Terri Shubilla, Leo Guinan, Blushing Crafter, Kirk Hofstrom, and Mechi Mansilla.  Together WE ARE….SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE…

Welcome to Season 10 of Lobow’s Spark…ADHD and RESILIENCE.  Today’s friend is Brittany and she does NOT have ADHD but stay with me here…Sometimes when it comes down to ADHD and being resilient, we need a Neurotypical partner who is resilient enough to put in the time to understand us. It is even more important that they put in the time to try and understand the way our brain works. In this episode, I speak with a loving wife to an ADHD husband. Brittany gives us a glimpse into what some of those without ADHD experience when being around those of us that have it. When we with ADHD know how resilient we are, there might be a loved one who is resilient as well...Brittany has made the choice to try and understand her ADHD husband. She is trying to adjust, trying to battle frustration because she loves her husband with everything she has. It is for these reasons, I have the privilege to say… Brittany, YOU ARE SOMETHING…FOR SOMEONE…

Season 10 of Lobow’s SPARK is dedicated to my loving parents.

Today’s Group Episode centers around the very theme of season 10, “ADHD & Resilience.”  This topic was brought up by my loving mother who mentioned that not one time have I said the word “resilient” on this podcast.  She was so right. I have both my parents to thank for instilling this characteristic in me at a young age. In this episode, each ADHD friend tells their story and/or opinions on what it means to be resilient in their own lives and we conclude with what might be the most epic ending to any episode thus far.   Resilient ADHDers featured are Terri Shubilla, Leo Guinan, Kirk Hofstrom, Dorsey McFadden, and Mechi Mansilla.  TOGETHER, WE ARE…SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE….

Today’s ADHD friend is Sabrina Pyles and she is one of the most down to earth and truly real people you will ever meet.  This comes as no surprise to me as every single ADHDer I have met, is TRULY real.  Sabrina and I discuss ADHD medication in this episode which is why I must put a disclaimer that I am not a psychiatrist that specializes in ADHD nor am a qualified to tell you what you should do.  I am simply speaking from my own personal experience with ADHD medication and I am in no way saying that a certain drug will or will not work for you.  That is for the trained professionals of which I am not.  That being said, let’s go back to introducing one the most badass people I have ever met with ADHD…Sabrina.  She is open, she is honest and she has confirmed my belief that our education system flat out sucks whether you are neurodivergent or “normal.”  It is for these reasons I have the honor of saying Sabrina… YOU ARE SOMETHING...FOR SOMEONE.

I thought this was another ADHD friend...But a miscommunication ended up introducing me to one the most energetic people I have ever come into contact with.  He goes by Up4thechallenge... But Adam (My real name as well) is OCD, Autistic,…AND BRILLIANT.  This fast-paced episode kept me up all night and I loved it.  As a matter of fact, I almost couldn’t keep up. Talking with Up4thechallenge truly gave me a glimpsa into the autistic brain.  I highly suggest you follow him on all of his social media accounts listed below....But he doesn’t care about that, it was a promise he made...

It is for these reasons that it is an honor (no matter how much it will piss him off)

What an incredible way to close out season 8!  Today’s New ADHD SPARK is Jenn Strout and you are in for one hell of an amazing time.  This is the first time she has spoken publicly about her ADHD and her story is amazing.  Jenn is currently an entrepreneur and has recently launched a business in the fitness world.  The link to her company is listed below.  But there was something about talking to Jenn that stood out more than anything else…her focused intensity.  Jenn has the most beautiful focus I have come across in a long time.  All of you listening know how intense I am and most of the time, it is looked down on.  But not when talking to her.  I felt less alone and so comfortable embracing my intensity during this recording.  It is for these reasons it is an honor to say that Jenn, YOU ARE…SOMETHING…FOR SOMEONE

Today’s group episode is on ADHD and Autism.  Most of the friends on the show have ADHD but a few are Autistic as well.  In this episode, we are educated as to how it feels to have both.  Listen to us tell inspiring stories of our Autistic friends and get a true glimpse into what Autism can be…both the struggles and the advantages.  Is it ADHD AND Autism or ADHD VS. Autism?  Listen to hear a unique perspective…A very special thank you goes out to my great friend Leo Guinan for stepping up to the plate to help us all better understand Autism.
TOGETHER, We are…Something for Someone….

ADHD Friends Featured in this episode are Terri Shubilla, Leo Guinan, Kirk Hofstrom, and Blushing Crafter.

I’m not going to call Terri an ADHD friend but instead, I’m going to say she is now one of my closest friends. Honestly this episode speaks for itself. Terri and I talk about the power of friendship, the struggle that ADHD people have in relationships and everything in between. But the most important thing about this episode is that illustrates what it looks like in your mind to have ADHD.  It is a constant ADHD good versus ADHD evil… Who wins? I can truly say that in my short time podcasting, this is easily the episode I am most proud of.  It is an honor to say that Terri Shubilla, you are something for…so many people…

ADHD affects EVERY aspect of our lives including sex & it needs to be discussed. However, not a lot of people want to talk about it and put themselves out there.  The 4 of us have set an example by talking about sex as mature adults.  By talking about the way the ADHD brain relates to sex.  Use your creative side as an advantage in bed.  Brave ADHer’s featured in this episode are Terri Shubilla, Leo Guinan, Dorsey McFadden, and of course, myself… I am so proud of us for proving that this needs to be talked about hopefully, more ADHDers will feel more confidence to talk about it.  Together, we are something for someone…

Part 2 of this mini-series “A Life Saving Instinct with ADHD Warrior Casey Elliot."  Previously, an emotional story was told proving how ADHD minds can save someone’s life.  For this episode, in addition to Casey, we have brought in Justin Allingham and Leo Guinan to discuss the very important topic of the current education system and how it must be changed not just for neurodivergent kids, but for everyone.  The current system is failing.  Kids are frustrated and scared to be themselves.  An education system that teaches a student's particular interest and/or strengths might very well help save their life.  By having this real conversation about our ideas to change it, we are helping…It is for these reasons I am honored to say that Leo, Justin, & Casey ARE Something for Someone…

Today, we have a unique and amazing episode as Leo Guinan, and I co-host with one of the most fun people I have ever met.  He goes by the name Reddy and he is currently building a platform called “Play.” Play is whatever you want to make it and Reddy will take us through just how important it is for adults to be free to be kids again.  Leo will take us through some exciting updates on his Feather CRM as well as he is putting the “Social,” back into “social media.”  So how does this fit into being a Warrior? A Warrior is someone who dedicates a ton of time and effort for the betterment of others.  Warriors work in order for others to be free to be themselves.  That is what both “Play” and “Feather” are doing.  Both of these ideas started with hearts that put people first.  Listen to the 3 of us spend some time truly living in the moment…That’s hard for adults to do these days.  Today, we set an example for so many by setting an example for others and saying IT IS OK TO HAVE FUN.  Warriors fight for many different reasons, we fight today to hopefully show you that it is completely ok to be yourself, to be a kid, to build what you want to build…Leo and Reddy, together We are…Something for Someone…

Today’s ADHD Warrior is Angel and she has recently made the decision to try and focus on her ADHD strengths.  This is one of the hardest things to do for someone with ADHD and the fact that she is moving forward in her life and coming out of her shell, makes her an ADHD Warrior.  So what is Angel doing to help her fellow ADHD community? She is stepping outside her comfort zone and telling her story. She sets an example of encouragement for all Neurodiverse people as she inspired me throughout our entire conversation.  That is what makes her a true Warrior.  Angel, you are Something for Someone

This season is all about Mental Health Warriors and what they are currently doing for their respective communities.  To kick off this new season, there is no warrior stronger than Dave Cottrell aka Mindset by Dave.  And this coming June 10th through June 11, he is going to be live streaming for 36 straight hours…but why? I am honored to have been provided a glimpse into what goes into Mindsetbydave’s Mental Health Ultra-Marathon and I am even more proud to be one of the confirmed guests for this event.  So Why does he do it? What goes into the preparation for an event like this?  What is the criteria to be a guest? What is the primary goal of Marathon?  These are just a few questions we dive into while Dave provides a behind the scenes look into his Mental Health Ultra Marathon.  Dave Cottrell, it is a privilege to say that you are…Something for Someone….

I am so honored to welcome back a close friend to the show.  Not only is Leo Guinan now a close friend, but he runs a program that is the podcast sponsor...Feather.  He will take us through how he has found a way to turn online relationships into actual friendships.  We discuss the dangers of social media and how to use it for what it should have been designed for...REAL relationships.  Leo also started our fundraiser where we are working hard to raise $5,000 for Crisis Text Line.  Donating $1 can go further than you think...Even further than that, he is now a part of this podcast.  I honestly couldn't be more proud to say LEO, YOU ARE...SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE... and that "someone"... is me.  Thank you.

 At the end of this episode we will countdown the top 5 most listened to episodes!!

The more conversations we have about mental health, the better.  It’s all about changing the narrative and Leo Guinan has taken the initiative to be a co-host and have his own conversation with Justin Allingham.  Their discussion centers around the utter failure of the current education system and the reason why a lot of neurodiverse people are drawn to be entrepreneurs. In this episode I step aside to listen to Leo & Justin as their conversation is undoubtably Something for Someone….

This podcast is currently fundraising for Crisis Test Line.  The goal is $19 per episode so if you want to donate, click on the link below.  Our fundraising effort is “Lauren’s Infinity.” https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/3638033

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.

The biggest fire yet...In the final episode of season 3 is an inspirational gathering where Lobow and his previous guests all get together at one time.  Each prior guest brings up a topic or question of their choosing and everyone provides feedback or experiences unique to them.  We all have ADHD. We all use it differently. We are all teachers and we are all students. This episode proves just how different each person with ADHD is and how different the strategies we use really are.  We do not agree on everything but we respect one another.  If you have ADHD, feel completely free to be yourself and comfortable around those who understand and thrive on being different.  

Season 3 of Lobow’s SPARK was produced in loving memory of a close friend who passed away due to mental illness. YOU ARE LOVED AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

Today’s fireside chat is with a close friend of mine Todd McCollough.  This episode is short but necessary if you have ADHD because it focuses on what exercise can do for the brain.  Todd developed a program called TMAC fitness (https://www.tmacfitness.com) which caters to the ADHD brain more than any other I have found.  His workouts are under 20 minutes and you can do them from anywhere..with no equipment...all you have to have.. is a phone.  What is most beneficial about TMAC fitness is the mindset... “if you want to get out of your mind, get into your body.” If you have ADHD, wouldn't it be nice to do this every once in a while considering our minds never stop?  Be motivated to literally hit the "play" button to exersice everyday...I can tell you it works.  Enjoy listening to Lobow & TMAC in this episode that is just as short as the workouts he has developed.

The featured guest today is Dorsey McFadden (@flexyouradhd) and she runs the website flexyouradhd.com.  Dorsey has no filter in telling you her true feelings on the subject and to be honest, some of them contradict what I believe which makes for an outstanding episode.  This conversation will motivate you in a real way to see both the positives and negatives of ADHD.  Dorsey also had a very creative way of getting me to explain a big reason why this podcast was started in the first place.  Be inspired and stay true to yourself by listening to Lobow and Dorsey discuss ADHD.

Today’s Fireside chat features Shannon Craver.  Originally from Canada, she currently lives in London where she runs her own design studio.  Shannon also writes about ADHD (https://www.getrevue.co/profile/adhddesigner) and she was recently diagnosed just 1 year ago.  Her twitter information is @ADHDdesigner and I encourage you to go to her page as she has many tweets regarding ADHD.  She is an amazing person who has chosen to let the advantages of this "disorder" outweigh the negatives.  This episode has some very funny moments as we discuss why doing laundry will never be at the top of the ADHD priority list.  Our chat is yet another example of how the current education system can be devastating to someone w/ADHD.  Enjoy and be motivated by Lobow and Shannon’s ADHD discussion!

One of Lobow's closest friends from back in high school joins the ADHD conversation.  Guy Farmer is an extremely talented musician and spent a decade playing music in front of large crowds in Nashville, TN.  He also worked as manager of other bands handling the business side of the profession at the same time. If you want to listen to some awesome Rock 'n' roll, search Guy Farmer on iTunes and you will not be disappointed.  Guy talks about his late ADHD diagnosis and what medication has done for him.  But the most fun part about this episode is listening to two ADHD adults in their late 30's, discuss the high school education system and their opinions on what truly matters when you are that age.  See if you can keep up with Guy and Lobow in this fast paced episode that quickly moves from one topic to the next...Perfect if you have ADHD.

Lobow puts emphasis on the second element of his SPARK strategy - The Power of Passion in ADHD.  It is our passion that ultimately fuels us.  Odds are if something or someone is important to us for any reason at all, what is important to them becomes vital to us.  But only if what is important to them is something that truly matters in life.  Again, it has to matter.  If it doesn’t, our brain will instantly stop providing the dopamine we need.  This is the kryptonite for us.  So how are we going to maintain our speed when the environment around us has “calmed down” and as a result, we have started to slow down?  The good news is that passion will maintain your speed and this is the primary focus of today’s episode.  

People with adhd have more passion and emotion than most people on earth. We have unmoderated emotion.  This means we are emotionally impulsive.  Sounds horrible right?  Wrong.  Listen to find out why.

…An inspiring story is also told during this episode.

An overview of Lobow's SPARK strategy - The Power of ADHD.  Emphasis on the first element of SPEED.  ADHD people are told to slow down, calm down, rest and relax……f*ck that.  Why should we slow down when the world operates fast and we are quicker than 90% of it?  You always want to be first in anything you are trying to achieve whether it be your career, a competition, coming up with as some great idea, or simply asking out that hottie at the bar.

Quick decision making is as easy as breathing for the adhd brain.  Actually, we make our best and most accurate decisions when an immediate answer is required. We have a sense of urgency with everything that is important every day.  That can be frustrating for others but those others will come to us when it is the most vital and they need our help fast.  This is why some of the most successful people with adhd have chosen to use the power of speed to be superman.  They have chosen careers like emts, the military, firefighters, special forces ect…These are all careers that are labeled as “heroic.”  In other businesses, the quick outside the box thinkers are recognized more often.  The natural power of the speed in the adhd brain is respected and looked up to in everything but people with adhd.  WHY?! Stay fast ADHDers.
