EPISODE 8

If we were not to label ADHD as a disability, as a mental condition, as a disorder, then what would that mean? Would that just mean that ADHD is non-existent, and our brain doesn't have any differences compared to what a typical “brain” would have? In this episode of the ADHD Owned Podcast, I shared my opinion on whether ADHD is a disability or just a neurological difference. I also shared what my ADHD journey looked like and the mindset shifts I went through to make ADHD not the villain of my story.
