DR. KEVIN

• Dr. Kevin has his own podcast.
  • https://audiojunkie.co/podcasts/the-dr-kevin-show/episodes/laughing-loving-and-alive
• He primarily works with ADD and ADHD patients.
• He isn’t a medical doctor so he doesn’t diagnose folks with these conditions.
• When Kevin was a kid, his teachers tried to hold him back because he, in their eyes, was mentally retarded.
  • But really, his brain was just working too fast.
    • Once he was reminded to slow down before he answered, he aced all the questions.
  • His Dad advocated for him –– the problem wasn’t too slow, it was that his teacher didn’t know how to deal with him when he was really very bright.
• He was a curious and smart kid, and the school didn’t like it.

DIFFERENT ISN’T BAD

• The way he sees it, ADD/ADHD isn’t a disease or a disability.
  • It’s just all about learning to manage your ADD/ADHD and giving others (like schools) the tools to work with those with ADD/ADHD.
• Just because it’s challenging doesn’t mean it needs to be disabling.
• People may process things differently if they have ADD/ADHD.
  • Different is not bad, it’s just different.
• The world needs to expand to include these folks.
  • We need to make sure we aren’t stigmatizing or punishing (or overmedicating) those with ADD/ADHD.
• By the time many of Dr. Kevin’s patients get to him, they’ve lost confidence and the like.
• We’re not here to be followers, but to be leaders.
  • We’re not here to fit in, we’re here to stand out!
