10/13/19 • 54 min
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.”

Welcome!
Why JDHD?
Why Me?
Why now?
This introduction to ADD for lawyers aims to tell you my "origin story." How did we get here? How did I end up dedicating my career to helping lawyers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (whether they know they have it or not)?
Two Quotes:
“My seven-year-old son—who is clever and amazing and compassionate and kind—is upside down on a worn leather couch. This is not unusual for him. His ass is resting where his head should be. His head is resting where his ass should be.”
“On a desperate hunch, I talked to a charlatan who claimed to help adults with ADHD. In her wisdom, though, Roberta quickly concluded that I categorically did not have ADHD. After all, I had graduated from college and went to law school and passed the bar exam and practiced law. How could someone with ADHD do things like that?”
