What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
And the refrain that you've had ever since as long as you can remember is try harder. Івкасомач потенціал. Юсо Сма, і каду со мощ. Get your act together, clean it up, try harder. And and and of course that just drives your self-esteem down further and further and further because you know you're trying as hard as you can. You're trying and yet it takes you eight hours to do homework that it takes another kid one hour to do. Or or as an adult, you have a brilliant proposal and you show up at the wrong place on the wrong day and it never, you know, gets the attention it deserves. So Chronic underachievement until the diagnosis is made.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber. Today I'm bringing you my conversation with Dr. Ned Hollowell, a board certified child and adult psychiatrist and world authority on ADHD. Ned is the founder of the Hollow ADHD centers in Boston, Metro West, New York City, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Seattle. He's spent the past four decades helping thousands of adults and children live happy and productive lives through his strengths based approach to neurodiversity and has ADHD and dyslexia himself. He's also a New York Times bestselling author and has written 20 books on multiple psychological topics.
You'll hear more about his newest book, ADHD 2.0, later in this episode. Also, Ned has a a brand new podcast out called Dr. Hollowell's Wonderful World of Different, which celebrates the many differences that adorn humanity. So definitely check that out after you listen to this episode. In this conversation, we talked about Ned's strengths-based approach to ADHD and how it can change the outlook for someone with ADHD, his thoughts about medication, what finding the right difficult means, and how parents can help their kids find theirs, and how to create safe and stellar environments for our children to thrive as themselves. As always, if you want to dive deeper into my conversation, please check out the show notes page on Tilde Parenting.

Nice to be with you.
I feel like this is such an overdue conversation because I've certainly been following your work for years. I think we've been in similar summits for parents. And so I'm just really excited to talk about your new book, ADHD 2.0, today. You've obviously been working in this space for a long time and have been a thought leader when it comes to ADHD. And I'm just wondering if you could share what things have changed. And that really inspired you to say, all right, it's time to write this new book within the landscape of ADHD.
Well, i to give you a time line personal timeline. I I'd never heard of this condition. uh until I wa I'd finished uh college, medical school, residency and I was doing a fellowship in child psychiatry at the old Mass Mental Health Center, which is a Harvard uh training program. And um uh I had a uh early in July of nineteen eighty one, attended a lecture about a condition that I'd never heard of, attention deficit disorder. That's what it was called then. And if you told me before then someone had attention deficit disorder, I thought it was some psychoanalytic concept about a kid who didn't get enough attention. You know, so so that's how uninformed I was in nineteen eighty one. But that was a real aha moment for me 'cause I I realized two things.
