For a good part of my life I thought I was dumb. Actually, that was the bad part of my life. I struggled in school while my siblings earned honors. (Is that what they call it? I don't remember.) Naturally I assumed the problem was with me. Now I realize, as do a lot of researchers and educators, that the stumbling block for many students and adults isn't the amount of brainpower, but how your brain learns the best.

For example, when I purchase something with a long list of written instructions, I'm overwhelmed. Whereas minimal words and lots of illustrations and I'm good to go! (Thank you, Ikea!)

What I Want to Say to My Mom, Who “Drugged” Me

featured image

Whether (or how) to treat a child with ADHD is an understandably tough decision for many parents. My mom decided to, and faced (as many parents do) judgement for her choices. Here’s what I want to say to her, and every parent who finds themselves accused of “drugging” their children.

My Little Villagers’ response: /

Thank you to my Patreon supporters, for the sake of keeping this video short and shareable I didn’t do my usual intro or wrapup, but I could not have done this without all of you.

By the way, in case anyone is curious — I take Vyvanse now, but I started on Ritalin.

Transcript of video:

What I want to say to my mom, who “drugged” me:

Thank you. Thank you for listening when I told you I was struggling. Thank you for standing up for me when my dad tried to dismiss what I was dealing with as “normal.” I now understand ADHD is highly genetic and it’s likely he felt that way because he probably had ADHD himself.

Thank you for taking me to get a proper evaluation so I understand my brain’s differences and don’t feel like it’s just all my fault. Thank you for taking me to a psychiatrist, month after month, to find a treatment and dose that worked for me. And for taking me back month after month after month after month — I know you were busy, and yet I never ran out of medication because you took the time to take me to every appointment.

Thank you for ignoring the people who judged you. I know there were many.

Thank you for understanding that there was a difference between my sister occasionally forgetting her homework and me losing or forgetting something almost every day. Thank you for understanding that while all children can be fidgety or impulsive or get distracted, I struggled way more than the other kids my age. I now understand it’s because ADHD brains develop differently.

You didn’t know that, you hadn’t done the research I have, but you listened to me when I told you I needed help.

Because of you, I got the treatment I needed, I did better in school, I felt more confident and able to reach my potential. Because of you, I never had to self medicate like so many ADHDers I know. I never sank into depression. I never gave up on myself. I never felt misunderstood. You understood. You believed me.

And when you did, when you took me to a doctor who could explain to me what was happening in my brain, you took away so much shame.

Thanks, mom.

http://adhdinadults.com/ Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can inhibit people from functioning at their highest potential and is often the cause or a contributing factor to problems in a patient's professional and personal life. Robert Tudisco is joined by Lenard Adler, an expert in adult ADHD, to show the benefits that patients get when they are diagnosed and treated.

After his child was diagnosed with ADHD, Tudisco sought treatment. Parents often gain insight into their own behavior after diagnosing ADHD symptoms in children. Adler suggests that adults with ADHD be screened by healthcare professionals if the child has been diagnosed. Tudisco was one of those people. He said that he struggled with time management, multitasking, and was having difficulty completing administrative tasks.

Adult ADHD can also affect personal relationships. Tudisco was concerned about his ability to be a better husband and father, so he sought help. He also learned about ADHD and heard stories from other patients. Tudisco was given a non-stimulant drug that helped him manage ADHD. He has been able to overcome many of the difficulties he faced before his diagnosis.

Adler is the Director of NYU School of Medicine's Adult ADHD Program. Robert Tudisco, Esq. Robert Tudisco, Esq. is the Executive Director for ADHD Coaching, Adult ADHD. Please visit the link for more information about Adult ADHD. Our website with

My Patreon supporters are very grateful. I kept this video short and easily shareable so I didn’t have to do an intro or wrapup. But, without you, this video would not be possible.

To my mom who “drugged” and abused me, I’d like to say

We are grateful. Thank you for listening to me when I said I was struggling. You stood up for me, even though my father tried to dismiss the fact that I was having trouble with ADHD as normal. ADHD is highly genetic. I understand that ADHD is likely to be a result of his own experience with ADHD.

Thank you for taking me to a thorough evaluation to help me understand my brain’s differences. I am grateful that you took me to see a psychiatrist every month to help me find the right treatment for me. Thank you for taking me back every month, even though you were busy. I was never short of medication because you took the extra time to bring me to each appointment.

I am grateful that you ignored the people who judged your actions. There were many.

We are grateful that you understood the difference between my sister sometimes forgetting her homework and me almost daily losing or forgetting something. You understand that children all have impulsive tendencies or can become fidgety, but I struggled more than other children my age. It’s because ADHD brains develop differently.

It was not something you knew, and you didn’t do the same research as I did. But you were able to listen to me when I said I needed help.

You helped me get the treatment that I needed. I was able to do better at school and felt more confident. You saved me from the need to self-medicate like many ADHDers. I never sank into depression. I didn’t give up on myself. I never felt misunderstood. You understood. You believed in me.

You took me to see a doctor to explain what was going on in my brain.

Thanks, mom.

“The Future Begins Today”

Stress. Anxiety. Depression. They are deadly. They are spreading like a virus, according to surveys. The world's events, our increasing complexity and social isolation are all contributing to our growing anxiety and fear.

Patreon: Support me and participate in two live webinars each month. My guests are Dr. John Fleming (February 15th @ 3pm Eastern) + Colin Mochrie (March 1st @ 8pm Eastern n
*All webinars can be recorded and re-played in the event of a technical problem.

With the current turmoil in the world, more people are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, uncertainty, confusion, and the numbing mental fog caused by endless stress.

Our patrons are now sharing their strategies to reduce stress. Some of these are well-known, like regular sleep, better nutrition, exercise, and being outside in nature. I was most surprised by the amount of people who have a hobby that helps them manage stress. It's their way of getting perspective and relief.

Model railroading was one of my stress relievers. A number of patrons wanted to see it.

1958, is a small town with lots of industry, and lots of railroad traffic. This might seem odd for someone with difficulty paying attention, following-through, impatience and distraction. However, for me, for over 50 years, this has been a kind meditative touchstone. My mind is constantly imagining dialogues and complications when I write comedy. It's almost as if I'm being hypnotized. It's funny if it's funny. If not, it's okay.

Use a hobby to reduce stress This is different. It requires me to be here, focus on each brush stroke, every knife cut, and be present. Although it sounds paradoxical, it's true. How can a hobby that demands precision and patience be relaxing. It doesn't require patience but it draws me into a place of patience, being very focused on what I'm doing, it absorbs my attention, a bit like a candle that provides focus for a meditation monk.

Model railroading may make you shiver, but it's just as terrifying to me as golf. It's a form of relaxation therapy that I love and is similar to yin yoga.

It's something I enjoy doing, whether it's gardening or walking in the woods.

Although friends come and are astonished, there is no audience. I am the only one who can edit, improve and add to the content. I don't have any deadlines and I work at my own pace. The silence is peaceful, there are no calls, requests or push notifications. I find that having music playing in the background helps me focus. I usually just play a document that I've seen before. I listen to half of it, then quarter it, and finally I listen to a 20th.

A second difference is that, unlike writing, this is physical and slow, but it's immediately rewarding. I can write a funny skit, and it may take weeks or even months for an audience to see it in the studio, then it will be broadcast. Here, the positive feedback is instant and unlike the laughter, it's always there.

As I am in charge, I can express my vision. No studio executive is telling you to make your husband more likeable.

This allows me to set my own standards. I may not be hyper-focused when I retreat to this place, but I don't need to take too long to slow down and relax to get into the zone. For me, zoned out is an endless loop of irrelevant, ineffective, useless, and anxiety-inducing hubbub. Or lost in time wasters those that put my life in pause. I scroll lost in a passive, semi-amusement state by things I'm not going to ever remember.

There is nothing wrong with moderation, but I am sometimes shocked by how much time I spend online. That's when I realized that I could actively de-stress, do some chores, go for a walk with my spouse, sit outside watching the birds and wild rabbits, or just doing this.
