ADHD Myths, Time Optimism, and the "Never-Boring Guarantee" with Gary Johnson, Ph.D:

In this episode with Dr. Gary Johnson, we talk about lawyers, common ADHD myths, time optimism, shame, and the Never-Boring Guarantee!

Even better, we talk about high IQs, ADD's “friends and neighbors” (the so-called “comorbidities”) and the single feature or ADHD that we’d like to eradicate from the planet (Spoiler alert: It's shame.)

Dr. Johnson is a psychologist specializing in evaluating and treating the “hard cases” of adults, children, and lawyers with ADD and ADHD.

Two Quotes

“If you have ADHD as an adult and it hasn’t been diagnosed, it is expected that you would either have some depression or anxiety that went along with it.”

“The older someone is when they get diagnosed, the higher the IQ.”
