Summary

In the world of ADHD, there's lots of emotion, lots of stigma, and lots of concern. There's often a reluctance for people to reach out to get the diagnosis and even more reluctance to get treatment. In the end, most don't realize the intangible but significant consequences. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach, Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) talks with Emily Rubin Persons of Skip Coaching (http://skipcoaching.com) regarding the topic. The two will share their experiences with people who didn't receive early intervention—even when diagnosed early—and reveal some of the more negative unintended consequences of such a delay. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD. Attention Talk Radio, hosted by Jeff Copper, attention and ADHD coach, is designed to help adults (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated to help them get unstuck and moving forward by opening their minds to pay attention to what works.
