ADHD Reframed: From ‘Disorder’ to Brilliant Adaptation

ADHD isn’t a defect— it’s a brilliant survival strategy.

Heather McKean and co-host Kent dive into the neuroscience (dopamine, DMN, hyper-vigilance), childhood ACEs, and school-system pressures that wire an “ADHD brain.” Then they show how Mind Change tools re-route those patterns—no shame, no labels.

Inside this conversation

• Why a hyperactive brain is often a hyper-vigilant brain
• Dopamine “hunger” vs. true connection
• How compliance-based classrooms amplify symptoms
• Rewiring steps that turn coping skills into super-powers
