Jacob's Journey of ADHD to ADHD Advocacy
Manage episode 430202029 series 3438605
My guest is Jacob, a Bristol native and ADHD advocate. Jacob shares his personal journey and discusses his life with ADHD, which he was diagnosed with at age 13, and the challenges of growing up without a supportive ADHD community. He delves into his motivations for becoming an advocate, inspired by the lack of resources for girls with ADHD and his desire to provide representation and hope for new parents navigating early diagnoses.
Jacob reflects on his parents' crucial role in normalizing his ADHD and encouraging his interests, particularly in drama and sports. He emphasizes the importance of pushing ADHD children in their areas of interest to help them excel.
As a mental health professional working in early intervention for psychosis, Jacob combines his expertise and lived experience to support others. He highlights the significance of outdoor activities and community support groups, particularly for adults with ADHD, to foster a sense of belonging and shared experience.
Throughout the episode, Jacob offers insights and advice for parents, educators, and individuals with ADHD, underscoring the potential for creativity and success when ADHD traits are channeled positively.
