Adult ADHD ADD Tips – “Hunter Farmer” Theory and Neurodiversity
Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. The Connection Between the Hunter Farmer Theory of ADHD and Neurodiversity. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
In this episode, we'll explore the connection between the Hunter Farmer theory of ADHD and the concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergent. As we unpack these two viewpoints of ADHD, they both seem to point in the same direction: people with ADHD have gifts to contribute to society. We'll also discuss how the hunter-farmer theory can lead us back to ancient and deeply nourishing practices that can allow us to feel more at home in the world and with ourselves.

Customer Reviews
Changed my life!!
This podcast really helped me understand and cope with my adult ADHD. Michael is such a great host and truly understands “our struggles” and most importantly - has solutions, so we can all thrive! Thank you.
My Perspective As A Mental Health Care Professional
I am a mental health care professional who has ADHD and overall I really like this podcast. I love the underlying philosophy of the book that this podcast revolves around, that being that ADHD isn’t a disorder, but rather, an evolution of a hunter mindset.
My only “complaint” for lack of a better word, is that sometimes they make clinical claims about ADHD that aren’t true. The hosts are very insightful and obviously speak from experience, but I wish that they would stick strictly to experience instead of talking about the clinical aspects such as testing, diagnostic criteria, etc. You really need an education in mental health care to be able to fully speak about ADHD in an clinically accurate way.
A fan and a student
This podcast is clear and concise. The topics covered are relatable and his tools are easy to apply to real life. Anyone can use these , not just hunter types. The idea of being a hunter type sounds so confident.
