"The current perception of ADHD isn’t a charitable one, although that has been recently changing. ADHD is not the inability to sit still and focus – it’s a different way of processing the world and managing executive function. And people with it can have thriving careers because of the way they perceive the world, not despite it.

In this session, we’ll look at what ADHD actually is, how it manifests differently in men vs women (and how women and girls have been comparatively underdiagnosed), and how it can be a strength, rather than a liability, in content design. We’ll also discuss coping mechanisms, ways to stay organized, methods of maintaining focus in a demanding world, and additional resources to learn more about how ADHD works.
