ADHD Reframed: From ‘Disorder’ to Brilliant Adaptation
Update: 2025-07-07
Description
ADHD isn’t a defect— it’s a brilliant survival strategy.
Heather McKean and co-host Kent dive into the neuroscience (dopamine, DMN, hyper-vigilance), childhood ACEs, and school-system pressures that wire an “ADHD brain.” Then they show how Mind Change tools re-route those patterns—no shame, no labels.
Inside this conversation:
🧠 Why a hyperactive brain is often a hyper-vigilant brain
🍭 The difference between dopamine “hunger” and true connection
🏫 How compliance-based classrooms can amplify emotional and behavioral symptoms
🔁 Rewiring steps that transform coping mechanisms into genuine superpowers
