ADHD, Context and Storytelling
In this episode of Translating ADHD, hosts Ash and Cam dive into the world of storytelling and its significance for individuals with ADHD. Ash returns to the booth after a rough bout with the flu, which sparks a brief discussion on how illness can affect executive functioning. The conversation then shifts to the main topic of storytelling, where Cam delves into the importance of context as a superpower.
The hosts explore how those with ADHD are naturally wired for context due to their divergent thinking abilities, constantly seeking the narrative thread, theme, and personal impact of stories. The episode promises to shed light on why storytelling resonates deeply with individuals with ADHD, often seen in children's persistent why questions, which stem from genuine curiosity rather than obstinance. Join Ash and Cam for an insightful discussion on the intricate connections between storytelling, context, and ADHD.

Customer Reviews
Love it!
I love the show and find it very helpful!
Love the clear distinctions!
After just stumbling across this podcast and having listened to only one episode thus far, I am shook by the multiple layers of relatability and enlightenment gained from your personal accounts. As a seeker of self growth and truth by nature, I am not new to this content. I appreciate the clear and simple differentiation between adhd and similar diagnoses like depression. The context is deconstructed in a way that is easy to comprehend, validating, and provides ready to apply intervention strategies. When I arrived home, I replayed the episode for my 16 year old daughter, also ADHD and currently going through it. In addition to serving as an overdue discussion jumpstart, it gave us both a glimmer of hope to offset her daunting first semester of Sophomore year.
Thank you for demonstrating the power of vocabulary and vulnerability… and the benefit of embracing discomfort and support.
