Your ADHD Is Not a Disease

How do I know if I have adhd? ADHD is being diagnosed more now than ever. The inability to really focus and concentrate. It's actually a coping mechanism for a child. So if you take a child who's growing up in a home that has a lot of stress in it, as an adult, if you have a stressful situation, you have two options. You can either fight with me or you can walk away. A child growing up in a home has neither. They can't fight and they can't run. So how does a child living in a stressful home protect themselves?

They do this. They tune out. The child is trying to cope with the stress because they have no other way to deal with it. They can't fight with the person creating the stress and they can't run from it. Now, the stress may or may not be intentional. You could have two professional parents, they're both stressed out because of their jobs. Well, that's going to show up and the children are going to feel that stress. Or it could be very intentional where it's just dysfunctional. But either way, during the most brain formative years, between 0 and 7, a child is tuning out their environment, shutting down to not have to focus on the stress. Then they send them to school and they say, now you need to focus on that teacher at the front. They spent the first seven years of their life not focusing, training their brain not to focus.
