Why is it important?
People with ADHD face unique challenges in school, social situations, and the workplace - challenges that are exacerbated by both internal (self) and external (others) unfamiliarity with or misunderstandings of how the ADHD mind operates. As a result, people with ADHD often try to conform by adopting systems used by their peers rather than implementing systems that meet their own thinking and behavioral patterns and needs. This mismatch can lead to a variety of problems ranging from work inefficiency to anxiety disorders.
Speaker bio:
Eric Whittington was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. Despite being intelligent, the chronicle of his early life is riddled with tales of adversity and failures to perform at the level of his peers socially, academically, and professionally.
Shortly after graduating from college and fed up with his circumstance, Eric became dead set on changing the course of his life. He dedicated countless hours to researching and reflecting on ADHD, began putting creative systems in place to combat the challenges brought presented by his symptoms, and after years of unwaivering dedication, he eventaully began taking control over his ADHD, and subsequently, his life.
Now, Eric's primary focus is on sythesising his own life experience into material that helps others who stuggle as he did.
