ADHD Is A Regulation Difference
- ADHD is best understood as a regulation disorder affecting attention, activity, and emotions.
- Framing ADHD as regulation clarifies why people can focus on some things but not others.
Regulation Lets You Function With Emotion

- Use body-level sensory strategies because regulation is not under conscious control.
- Apply simple sensory inputs to impact your nervous system without relying on willpower.
