today ADHD s misunderstood it is
misunderstood as inability to focus
however it’s much more complex than that
ADHD has nothing to do with the
inability to focus in fact when I get
something passionate about when I get
when there’s something that grabs my
attention catches my interest I get
hyper focused focused much more than
anyone in this room can imagine I will
sit down for more than 12 hours and I
will not get tired at all I’ll give you
an example it will take me much less of
a time to read the entire US
Constitution and analyzing it than
reading a single page article on marine
biology my brain is like that it has
multiple channels that is sometimes the
reason why people with ADHD it’s misses
understood as the inability to focus
simply where my teacher in English class
is talking about Romeo and Juliet the
theme of love my brain will be thinking
about love okay well my crush like me
back or not things that I think about is
uncontrolled so in terms of creativity
people with ADHD will strive the best
that they can do but then what is the
issue modern society in modern society
people will focus on the negative side
John you can’t do this you can’t do that
what can you do
you’re so dumb go back to your seat
you suck I want to tell you that words
are powerful
so with words we have two options to
encourage or discourage something with
encouragement you’ll make someone
motivated to do the best that they can
be with discouragements you’ll make them
feel bad about themselves no one
encouraged me with ADH when I had ADHD
no one told me I was just fine just the
way I was not a single person told you
that my adversity was part of diversity
because people will focus on something
that I can’t do and what I lack
ADHD became a negative label today I am
here to tell you how my life was as ADHD
in our community and steps to emerge
ADHD into a community while listening to
my talk I want you guys to think about a
question is ADHD something that we can
emerge into a community or something the
community will forever neglect I
personally had faith in myself because
people with ADHD are the ones who
actually changed the world believing in
something that I can’t see when people
told me John you suck
he can’t do anything I had faith because
Henry Ford
and microphones people who are top in
the world today have ADHD everyone has a
value and by negative comments like
curses missing positive support losing
strength that term that leads to losing
strength losing self-esteem and
motivation John you can’t focus
why what’s your problem why are you so
stupid
not a single person showed appreciation
to my positive side
unfortunately I lowered my value guess
what today I still have ADHD but the
world has changed
I have hope happiness and something that
I couldn’t see for many years I have
vision now admission which is the reason
why I’m in front of you today
optimistic encouragement leads me to
perform the best that I can do
pessimistic discouragement leads me to
failure while I was reading a book I
came across this quote and I decided to
change the subject a little bit it was
telling me to set an example and rise
above and show example how ADHD people
can actually fit into our community
every day we have a choice we either
choose to complain what we lack or be
grateful for what we have I decided to
be grateful for I have in a lot and in
life I think it is crucial to notice
that obstacles are opportunities many
people with ADHD have shame on
themselves the influence from negative
comments from teachers peers and parents
from the day after I read that quote I
was able to recognize that obstacles
were opportunities and today I know how
it feels to be unsupported mistreated
and misunderstood those opportunities
were my op those obstacles were my
opportunities because I have changed I
have a chance to advocate for the pain I
know they ignored discouraged
and disregarded so I want ask a small
question you guys do you guys like me
thank you that was the answer that was
waiting for Thank You Betty
so I think so you guys like me and at
least I’m popular at least so
[Applause]
so I might cool thank you that’s my last
question but I have ADHD so it doesn’t
really matter right I go around and
around asking if it’s okay to have
special means and everyone says fine so
now it’s okay to have different
weaknesses then why do people treat
people with special needs differently
wait that’s not true if someone breaks
their leg people will sympathize them PE
teachers will give them alternative
activities they’ll be able to use their
stairs and have those alternative
benefits but when I tell people that I
have ADHD people go nah John you’re
faking you don’t have ADHD people will
start invalid in validating John you’re
just faking to get some testing
accommodations John or or or people
criticize John this is a problem that
you might you must face so why are
people accepting prescriptions from a
doctor a doctor but not the other if
teachers understands the difficulty of a
student would be broken leg
why won’t teachers understand the
difficulty with the student with ADHD
what makes a medical note different when
it comes from a psychologist why do
people deny such prescription but this
is a reality for people with ADHD people
accept any kind of medical notes except
form psychologists many people teachers
parents ask me I heard you have ADHD is
that true and I go yeah they go no John
you’re faking ADHD is nothing to be
surprised it is close to us it’s not
something that is far away
what we need to emerge ADHD into a
community we have to respect
psychologists prescription if someone
needs accommodation we have to respect
that we shouldn’t be invalidating
someone else ii respect different
diversity zin learning every year
beginning of the year I hear haha you’re
in the AL hahaha you’re still in
learning support by such comments we’re
creating an environment that makes
people who actually need the support
uncomfortable people who need special
support needs to be comfortable there we
do not need any discouragements or feel
shame to be in a in eao or learning
support find proper support for a
provide full proper support when someone
when someone needs a proper support we
have to find them alternative solutions
for example meditation 10 time of 10
minutes a day physical activity some
people learn differently and ADHD
learners just require more support if
someone has a hard time sitting down and
need to stand up while working give them
an elevated desk if someone has have a
hard time sitting down on wooden chairs
and need a special sitting tool give
them a yoga ball
I mean this actually helps I am not
joking if people like me need to calm a
bit sometimes and need some waited on
we’re laughing here because this is new
to us and this is not something that we
see common in classrooms but this is
something we should start seeing more
and in more places the reason why I
don’t have mla citation here because
this is simply purchasable from amazon
for people with ADHD
please hold value to yourself don’t
compare yourself to other people you wee
and me we are all special in our special
kind everyone has something to be a
proud of
please remember I’m enough in fact
plenty we all need love we all need
support and acceptance we all look for
love we all seek support and we cannot
live without acceptance because that
makes us human one day I wish ADHD
people can be proudly emerged into a
community please help people with ADHD
and please help them emerge
inter-community don’t change support
don’t change support please remember its
it’s a tension different not deficit
thank you [Applause]
