The world's shortest ADHD podcast episode? The ONE THING I want you to know.

Speaker: 00:00:00

What's up.

2

: 00:00:00

My friends it's.

3

: 00:00:01

It's ADHD, coach Catherine.

4

: 00:00:03

Uh, as you can tell this

week, I have a problem again..

5

: 00:00:08

It's just one of those things.

6

: 00:00:09

But I wanted to share a

really short message with you.

7

: 00:00:13

I asked my teenager.

8

: 00:00:15

What is the one thing you would

like people to know about ADHD?

9

: 00:00:20

And of all the things she could have

said, that thing I didn't expect.

10

: 00:00:25

Was.

11

: 00:00:26

I don't do it on purpose.

12

: 00:00:28

And I think how many of us as parents.

13

: 00:00:31

Sometimes fall into the trap of feeling

like they do kind of do on purpose.

14

: 00:00:37

Don't they.

15

: 00:00:38

Or as people with ADHD.

16

: 00:00:41

Sometimes think about ourself.

17

: 00:00:43

We could just try a bit harder.

18

: 00:00:45

It should be possible.

19

: 00:00:46

I'm not really disabled.

20

: 00:00:48

I'm a.

21

: 00:00:48

And I'm aware.

22

: 00:00:49

I talk a lot about.

23

: 00:00:51

The possibilities of life with ADHD

and how it doesn't hold us back.

24

: 00:00:55

And it doesn't have to because

there's scientific data that shows.

25

: 00:00:59

Just about anything is possible when

your brain and your body are working.

26

: 00:01:03

Together towards a different goal.

27

: 00:01:06

And I will include

links in the show notes.

28

: 00:01:08

For those of you who are interested.

29

: 00:01:10

I think we need to say to ourselves.

30

: 00:01:12

I don't do this on purpose.

31

: 00:01:14

I'm not trying to make my life harder.

32

: 00:01:16

I'm not trying to make their life harder.

33

: 00:01:18

This is just how my brain works right now.

34

: 00:01:21

36

: 00:01:30

I, have a few new offers because

I have taken my own advice.

37

: 00:01:34

And being playing a right

into is how do I enjoy.

38

: 00:01:37

Working with people.

39

: 00:01:39

What would give me delight?

40

: 00:01:40

What sounds like fun.

41

: 00:01:42

And I'm delighted to say

I have two spaces for my.

42

: 00:01:45

Launch coaching, which is for young

adults who are in their exam year.

43

: 00:01:50

Or who are moving from

school to university.

44

: 00:01:54

.

And in September, I'm offering an online peers, social skills program

45

: 00:01:59

for a very small group of teenagers.

46

: 00:02:01

And young adults who are.

47

: 00:02:03

Wanting to just nail down.

48

: 00:02:05

The social intricacies of making friends.

49

: 00:02:08

But for the grownups, there

are lots of other options.

50

: 00:02:12

And you will find them all on my website.

51

: 00:02:14

In the meantime.

52

: 00:02:15

Remember.

53

: 00:02:16

You're not doing this on purpose.

54

: 00:02:18

And if you are, you're probably not the

sort of person who listens to my podcast.

55

: 00:02:22

Hopefully my voice will return next week.

56

: 00:02:24

And until then take care.
