So people with ADHD, people with neurodiversity, they also struggle a lot with things like too many textures in the food.

There's this new diagnosis called ARFID, which is avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.

So people with ADHD are very, very sensorily stimulated, right?

Senses matter a lot.

So what we're going to use is use our senses to correct our

for our time blindness.

See, we learn through our senses, especially if we have ADHD.

They're very sensory learners.

So, you know, if I've got a kid like my daughter,

who probably has ADHD, you know, when I'm trying to teach her about something, I'll give her something to play with.

So if I'm like teaching her about gardening, I'm not gonna sit down and have an abstract conversation.

We're gonna go out into the garden and I'm gonna give her things to touch.

So for example, if I'm trying to teach her how to sit still, the way I'm gonna teach her to sit still is not by telling her to sit still, it's by tickling her.

And then I tell her, okay, I'm gonna tickle you, don't move.

If I sit there and I tell her, hey, sit still, don't move for five minutes, she won't be able to do it.

She'll start wiggling.

But if I tell her, hey, I'm going to tickle you, do your best not to move.

If you move a little bit, I'm going to tickle you more.

If you don't move at all, I'll stop.

You are harnessing this hypersensitive circuit.
