Context: ADHD Superpower

Asher Collins and Dusty Chipura
About this episode

Today on Translating ADHD, Ash and Cam dive into the importance of context for individuals with ADHD. They explore how ADHD brains are wired for context and how storytelling can influence our perception of reality. Cam shares his experience teaching a class on improving relationships for individuals with ADHD and how discussing context sparked curiosity and expectation among the students.

The hosts discuss the role of context in making progress with ADHD and reflect on how it shapes the ADHD experience as a whole. Cam shares three ways context can show up, one helpful and the other two not so much. The hosts discuss the draining experience of context switching and using context to delay action. They also share how to turn context into a real strength. Tune in for an insightful discussion on the power of context for those with ADHD.
