Do you “get” attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Yeah, yeah, yeah... it’s impulsivity, hyperactivity, and distractibility.  You procrastinate, are late, and can’t find anything.  All these are buzz words. Do you really understand how ADHD manifests?  Specifically, how does your individual ADHD manifest in relationships? In church? With friends or in athletics? In bed, for both sleep and romance? ADHD coach Jeff Copper and psychologist Kirsten Milliken find many persons with ADHD are oblivious to how and when their ADHD manifests.  In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, co-hosts Jeff and Kirsten interview Gina Pera, author, speaker, and prize-winning journalist, to get her thoughts on the topic and share some fun stories around how ADHD has manifested for some.

“If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane” ~ Jimmy Buffet.  That's right; we’re all a little crazy in our own way, especially those with ADHD.  All too often, ADD-ers get caught up in the seriousness of life.  Most could use a little humor to lighten things up, and the ability to laugh at themselves to take off some of the pressure.  In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, we interview comedian and ADD-er Rick Green on humor and its impact on ADHD and share some funny ADHD stories. If you have ADHD and need to lighten things up, this is the show for you.
