Attention Different is a neurodiversity podcast dedicated to reframing ADHD. Hosts Aaron and Stephen shed light on living and even thriving with ADHD, offering new insights, strategies, and - how dare they - a bit of HUMOR, to leverage your ADHD for success.
Our mission is to reclaim the label, not reinvent it, in order to understand our condition in more accurate and self-affirming ways. Labels can be stigmatizing, leading to shame, guilt, and despair. We believe that “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD), while a very real condition, has a tired and overly negative label.
Aaron and Stephen are Attention Different and proud, so whether you are a young adult, a parent, or an ADHD advocate, subscribe to our podcast and join the movement today!
We are ATTENTION DIFFERENT!!

Where did you go?
Awesome podcast! In my opinion the best out there on living positively with Adhd. I so wish you guys were continuing because I feel many need it.
I finally feel somewhat normal:-)
Oh my goodness, I have ADHD end don’t know many people who do and this podcast has been me feel so much more normal it’s crazy! It feels so good!I especially love episode 14… I finally figured out in my 20s that basically nobody gives a “bleep” about you-Not in a bad way, it’s just that they have their own life, kids, families, etc.And they’re not thinking about that thing you were worried about saying to them earlier in the day! And same thing when I figured that out, it was so freeing and has been me so much more confident in myself- I’m not afraid to be myself
One of a kind show
Though this project seems to have wrapped up, I want to give a big thank-you to the hosts for making this podcast. It’s incredibly refreshing to find a resource where someone speaks passionately yet thoughtfully about their ADHD, embracing a positive, personal growth attitude towards living with it without rejecting the science. The array of actual expert guests featured on the show have also been truly informative. It’s helped a great deal with coming to terms with my own diagnosis
