If you Google ‘ADHD traits’ you will find a list that looks like this:
⚠️ Struggle to focus ⚠️ Struggle to complete tasks ⚠️ Struggle with organisation
It’s all struggle, struggle and more struggle. It’s enough to make anyone feel hopeless.
ADHD has its challenges, but there are loads of POSITIVES, too:
⭐️ Resilience ⭐️ Creativity ⭐️ Excellent problem solving skills ⭐️ Hyper focus ⭐️ Calm in a crisis (Some of the most stressful jobs are staffed by those with ADHD) ⭐️ Conversational skills ⭐️ Spontaneity ⭐️ Entrepreneurial ⭐️ Empathetic and intuitive ⭐️ Thinks outside the box ⭐️ Being able to derive patterns where others see chaos ⭐️ Courage ⭐️ Ability to find unique solutions to difficult problems ⭐️ Able to talk about different topics at one time ⭐️ High energy ⭐️ Willingness to take risks
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
It’s about time we re-balanced the ADHD stereotype so that neurotypical business owners understand the benefits of employing team members with ADHD.
'This is a really relatable insight into undiagnosed ADHD and the havoc that wreaks on lives. I appreciated Alex's honesty and raw vulnerability - it was both an easy and hard read. Lots of emotions stirring and it was nice to be able to hear an account of an alternative experience whilst still being able to relate to almost everything. Hope for a successful future is also nice!
Alex deserves every success and this book packs a hell of a punch.'
I’ve hugged 20 people so far this week, each person with tears in their eyes.
As I journey through neurodiversity celebration week, as I take the stage 14 times in schools and businesses, relentlessly raising ADHD awareness, I see similarities in the people I’m speaking with.
They’re emotional because they finally feel seen, finally feel heard after years of feeling misunderstood.
Years of being called ‘too sensitive’ or ‘too much’ by people in their life that simply don’t ‘get it’.
Years of feeling broken and feeling different.
One of the best things about being an ADHD spokesperson is witnessing the moment people finally realise that they were never broken, simply different, that they have incredible strengths and that they have always been enough.
It’s a true privilege to witness the celebration in front of my eyes.

It was such an honour to interview Dr Louise Newson. She’s the world’s No.1 menopause specialist, and how hormones affect ADHD women.
This episode is dedicated to every woman who was made to feel crazy by a medical doctor who dismissed their concerns.
The episode is OUT NOW on my channel 💚
