“Omg! Just wow! LOVED hearing from such an amazing and intelligent 18 year old. Luke sounds like a hilarious and brilliant young man. I have a brilliant 14 year old son who has been diagnosed with ADHD, but he also refuses to take his medicine. He wants to figure things out for himself (as he says). So many things that Luke describes sound like my son. He hates feeling “forced” to do things and gets overwhelmed easily. He doesn’t like us to ask him too many questions and cannot stand intense emotions. He’s hilarious and witty and seems to have a constant and endless stream of memes, songs, jokes, sayings, quotes, etc... looping through his brain. He loves to laugh and wants everything to be fun (which school is NOT). We homeschool, and I have tried to accommodate and tailor all of his assignments to what he can manage, without getting overwhelmed. I loved that Luke explained how “do your best” sounds to him. That makes things so much clearer to me, realizing that the phrase doesn’t motivate my son in any way. I love the suggestion of small and attainable goals for him. I so appreciate Luke educating us on how he thinks. It’s extremely helpful to me as I try and help my son.
I would love Luke’s insight on:
-Taking meds (if he does); and how he views that
- phone and video game usage; does he think this harms if he’s on them too much?
-diet: do you like a variety of foods? My son is a junk food junky and hates fruits and veggies
-friendships; do you think it’s hard to make friends?
-always planning and looking ahead; my son is almost never thinking about the present. He is always planning the next “thing” or “item” or “activity” that he wants to do
Any advice for mom, is greatly appreciated. Luke and Penny, thanks for sharing. Y’all are both adorable and helpful!!”

“THE most helpful resource we have. Not to say that our ADHD clinicians don’t have an essential role - they do. But these podcasts have opened our eyes to so many realties our 10yo faces, and the ways to navigate them all. It’s like just downloading a lifetime of experience - we don’t have to...”Read full review »
