Got ADHD? Research shows that there are potentially over 18,000 different combinations that would get the ADHD diagnosis, not including comorbidity or severity of the conditions. Even so, it's convenient for society to pop a label on it so they can generalize it. A lot is lost in the label because it implies that everyone's experience is the same. However, the label sometimes may serve a better purpose, like in school systems where accommodations are available to help students with some form of ADHD. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff copper (https://digcoaching.com) and Dr. Kirsten Milliken (https://www.facebook.com/PlayDHDAdults) discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the ADHD label.

Is it possible for an individual to have ADHD and OCD at the same time? If so, how is it possible for a person to be obsessive and compulsive at the same time, or be impulsive and distracted at the same time? Believe it or not, it happens, according to Dr. Roberto Olivardia.

ADHD masking is a way of hiding symptoms through learned behaviors that can be healthy or unhealthy. Many people with ADHD break social rules through their behaviors and may face shame and ridicule. As a result, they develop coping strategies to hide parts of themselves. ADHD masking can be used as a coping mechanism and sometimes may help people get by when they are young and trying to make sense of the world around them. But eventually, this behavior becomes difficult to manage on its own. Also I review a great, fun book written by Kirsten Milliken called PlayDHDl quick overview of the medication I am taking to help my symptoms of ADHD www.ko-fi-.com/livingwithadhdandcptsd https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-adhd-masking-5200863#:~:text=ADHD%20masking%20is%20when%20someone,of%20all%20people%20with%20ADHD. https://www.instagram.com/playdhd/?hl=en --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/livingwithadhdandcptsd/message

Those with ADHD often feel overwhelmed and believe they were chronically disorganized.  One of our favorite quotes is “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Question is, what if you looked at your life as if it were organized? As if you had systems? What might you see? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) will talk to Kirsten Milliken (www.worldofadhd.com). The two will talk about the idea of self-observation in the context of what is organized and they'll share stories and examples of many who have looked at their life as if it were organized and how what they saw, changed.

What didn't we talk about? We both have ADHD superpowers, after all.Enjoy this conversation about moving, creating space, meeting new friends, sticky notes, and anything NEW! We talk about letting go of shame about medications, learning abilities, and the way our brain works. Let's learn to celebrate our uniqueness! Of course, there are different ways that ADHD presents, so it is important to note how it affects our relationships and  social/sexual lives. My favorite part of the conversation is when we talk about using play to treat trauma and perfectionism and how to lead with laughter. Kirsten speaks about finding pleasure in our quirks and what makes us diverse and creative geniuses. She gives a shout out to the brilliant works of Brian Sutton-Smith, Ari Tuckman and Gary Ware.Kirsten is a psychologist who lives in Maine and Tennessee. She has 20 years of experience in the mental health and coaching fields and is the author of the book “PlayDHD”. She is a certified ADHD coach and has ADHD herself.

Kirsten believes that play is the best non-medication intervention for people with ADHD and I whole-heartedly agree! Where to find Pasha:Website: http://pashamarlowe.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/PashamarlowecoachingIG: https://www.instagram.com/pashamarlowe/Email: pasha@pashamarlowe.comPlease subscribe, leave a review, and share this podcast with your friends and families.

If you went through the year 2020 then you probably experienced a lot of ups and downs. All of us ADHD or not experienced a lot of emotions and the year was quite a rollercoaster. Because of that, many of us probably did not have as much fun as we wanted to in our lives. Dr. Kirsten Milliken is back on the podcast to discuss ways to have more fun in 2021. And boy do we need fun after the year we've had. Kirsten is a big advocate of using fun and play to manage your ADHD and to help you thrive in life and in business. Kirsten is also the co-founder of "World of ADHD." The project profiles many successful individuals that just happened to have ADHD. Anyone with ADHD can submit their art, writing, music and other creative projects to show the positive aspects of having ADHD. Kirsten gives us an update on this important project. Of course, having a discussion about fun, would not be fun without some laughs and there are plenty of laughs between Kirsten and Dave in this discussion. Kirsten discusses is why play and fun are so important to the ADHD brain. Having fun keeps us motivated in other areas and activates that all-important dopamine that we need to get through the day. She gives us examples of how we can stay motivated and how we can actually play better. Kirsten wraps up with her tips for incorporating fun into our lives and staying connected even in a pandemic like we have been experiencing. That includes incorporating fun in smaller environments in ways we can still meet new people. Have you found something new and fun this year? Maybe it was cooking, a new form of exercise or you found a new TV show to binge-watch. Whatever it is, make sure you have fun this year. Find World of ADHD here: https://www.worldofadhd.com/

On January 16, 2013, in our interview with Dr. Roberto Olivardia on ADHD and obsessive compulsive disorder, we defined “obsessive” in the context of OCD, as well as “compulsive.”  We looked at the nature of both words and how they differ; we also looked at the nature of OCD.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we go more in-depth about both ADHD and OCD and the fact that many are diagnosed with OCD first and don't realize they have ADHD. We also talk about treatments for them both and individually.

The New York Times printed a tragic story of Richard Fee as told by reporter Alan Schwarz. The story is disturbing. In short, Richard Fee passed away because of inappropriate use of stimulant medication. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Dr. Ann Abramowitz and Dr. Theresa Maitland share the tragic stories of many who suffer because of inappropriate use of media sensationalism. The story is disturbing. What is even more disturbing is that the media would capitalize on the pain of the Fee family, using sensationalism that causes further stigma on sufferers of ADHD who take medications properly. Very simply, the media could use counterbalance in their reporting by featuring positive outcomes. Join host and attention coach Jeff Copper to hear our guests tell the rest of the story!

Do you remember Steve Martin's bit in the 1970s about cat juggling? It might have been funny, but in reality it would be ugly and cruel to the cats. For many with ADHD, juggling work, sleep, eating right, exercise, stress management, friends and family, organization, time management, and the notion of simplification is ugly and anything but simple. If you identify with this, we want to help. Join us with two of our favorite guests, Dr. Ari Tuckman and Dr. Roberto Olivardia, as we talk about life balance and simplification.

Isn't incarceration about applying negative consequences in the hope individuals will see the light and change their ways?  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken interview Rob Tudisco, a criminal defense attorney, around the topic of ADHD in prisons and the reintegration process.  Listen in and become aware of how the system penalizes those with ADHD by removing the tools, structures, and resources that those with ADHD need to manage their ADHD effectively, like ADHD meds, special education services, counselors, therapists, and coaches. They discuss how the structured environment of a prison sets an ADD-er up for failure when released back into an unstructured world. We'll talk about other travesties for those with ADHD, such as the emphasis upon release to get a job with no regard to finding the right job. In the end, you'll see why most ADHD adults in prison had graduated from the juvenile justice system, and you'll understand why prisons like Riker's Island have more inmates with mental health issues than any mental health hospital in the country. Whether you have ADHD or not, this issue impacts you. Listen in, learn, and help educate society so we can build a better mousetrap.

Woops! Your ADHD teen is in trouble with the law…  innocent until proven guilty, right?  That might not always be the case when ADHD traits manifest in behavior, because ADHD lends the human element to sentence your teen without the facts.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Rob Tudisco, criminal defense attorney, addresses the need to get your teen out of the line of fire and why your attorney, the prosecuting attorney, and the judge need to be educated around the reality of ADHD.  Listen in with host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken for this illuminating discussion around why your teen's school should be involved, as well as the key role that Section 504 and IEP plans can play in averting jail in favor of alternative programs or simply a return to school with more favorable accommodations.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.

In the real world, Section 504 and Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are enacted to protect those needs. But the question is: Does the real world work the way it's supposed to? We're not so sure, because if it did, teenagers would act their age and politicians would execute what they promised to do when they got elected. The fact is it doesn't always work the way it's supposed to. In this episode, host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken talk with Rob Tudisco, an education and criminal law attorney, around the reality behind the reasons the system might not work the way you think it should. If you need to advocate for anyone in the school system, this is the show for you.
