This is JDHD | A Podcast for Lawyers with ADHD.Welcome!Why JDHD?Why Me?Why now?This introduction to ADD for lawyers aims to tell you my "origin story." How did we get here? How did I end up dedicating my career to helping lawyers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (whether they know they have it or not)?Two Quotes:“My seven-year-old son—who is clever and amazing and compassionate and kind—is upside down on a worn leather couch. This is not unusual for him. His ass is resting where his head should be. His head is resting where his ass should be.”“On a desperate hunch, I talked to a charlatan who claimed to help adults with ADHD. In her wisdom, though, Roberta quickly concluded that I categorically did not have ADHD. After all, I had graduated from college and went to law school and passed the bar exam and practiced law. How could someone with ADHD do things like that?”JDHD | For Lawyers with ADHD:Are you interested in learning more about ADHD in general or ADHD for lawyers in particular?You can learn lots more, read the show notes, and much, more by visiting TheJDHD.com/2.Join the JDHD mailing list.Sign up for my totally free 10-Day email course, "An Introduction to ADHD for Lawyers."Sign up for our text newsletter— Text “JDHD” to (551) 212-8883 to join!Follow JDHD (and Marshall Lichty) on your favorite social channels!  Twitter (JDHD)Twitter (Marshall)FacebookInstagramSubscribe to our YouTube channel.
