ADHD goes beyond inattention and hyperactivity. It affects emotions, relationships, careers, and daily life in ways that many, even those living with ADHD, may not fully understand. This episode of our ADHD podcast series covers the realities of experiencing neurodivergence, including delayed diagnoses, difficulties with emotional dysregulation, coping strategies and the importance of a clinician’s role in a patient's ADHD care journey.  The conversation between Duane Gordon, President of ADDA, Helen Turnbull, Evelyn Polk-Green, Ex President of ADDA, and Katie Hathaway, M.S, BCBA, is one of honesty, humor, and insight, offering a deeper understanding of ADHD that textbooks often miss.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning symptoms must have been present since childhood (APA, DSM-5). Understanding a patient’s early development is critical when assessing and treating ADHD. A thorough developmental history helps clinicians differentiate symptoms from comorbid conditions like autism, learning disorders, or anxiety.The latest webinar, led by our clinical experts Jess Brunett, Ryan Martin, and Penny Lazell, delves into the critical role data gathering and developmental history play in an ADHD diagnosis.

In this webinar, our clinical advisors Jess Brunet (advanced nurse practitioner and non-medical prescriber in the UK) and Ryan Martin (former neuropsych tech and autism practitioner in the US) delve into the complexities of differentiating between ADHD and ASD. The discussion highlights overlapping symptoms, diagnostic challenges, and strategies for accurate differentiation, particularly in pediatric and adult populations.

A strengths-based approach to ADHD care focuses on the unique capabilities of each patient – allowing you to tailor patient interventions, improve adherence, and achieve better long-term outcomes.By adopting a strengths-based and inclusive approach to assessments while acknowledging the challenges ADHD individuals face, patients are better equipped to foster resilience, self-efficacy, and motivation.
