- How awesome to have ADHD expert Sam Led as my special guest on the Inner Peace & Other Cool Shit podcast recently.
Sam is a coach, speaker, group facilitator, and author, specialising in ADHD, and living with ADHD himself.
Sam is also - perhaps more importantly - kind, endlessly curious and highly compassionate.
He answered one of your questions on the show:
"I get distracted very easily, I procrastinate, I find it difficult to get things done. I also get tired quickly, feeling mentally depleted at work after only a few hours and the same in social situations.
I have been tested for various ailments or conditions including blood work, ADHD, chronic fatigue and others, and they have all been negative. Apparently, I’m as healthy as can be, but I don’t feel it.
I have realised I wanted there to be a diagnosis to explain ‘why I am the way I am’.
I have heard the ADHD brain, for example, described as working differently, explaining the behaviours and experiences of those with ADHD. But apparently mine works as it so-called 'should' but I still can’t keep up or function in society.
Why am I like this then, and how can the understanding you share help me?"
