Also then setting the additional timer for myself to make sure I could, you know, could someone sit at the gate and still miss a flight?

You betcha they can.

This stuff happens all the time to ADHD brains.

So you still have to have your routines and rituals in play.

But yeah, Sally, I think that external motivators can be a wonderful thing for us.

So much of what we see with the ADHD brain is that the struggle in filtering stimuli in the environment.

One of the great misnomers about ADHD is we start out saying it's attention deficit, and then you stop and go, wait a second, is that even true?

Well, to a certain degree, it really actually isn't true.

It's not about a deficit of attention.

It is how we shift, maintain, and manipulate our attention relative to what we're supposed to be paying attention to.

So I could be hyper-focused on something, and I have no deficit of attention.

I have the inability to shift to that boring thing across the room that I probably should be doing.

So when you get into the airport and you're in that TSA line, what are you experiencing?

Lots of stimulation.

The ADHD brain can't filter that stimuli.

The noises, the movement, the people, the close proximity, the sights and smells.

So when you're having to do this line and it feels time pressured, this turns off the thinking part of the brain.

we actually go into ADHD fight or flight.

So in that moment, we're doing all of the goofiest stuff.

I'm carrying, you know, my ticket says TSA PreCheck, and I know you'll talk about that in a minute, but TSA PreCheck is my shield.
