“Remember that ADHD is a superpower!” Christine is joined by Dr. Kensley Behel, Dr. Joy Hoffman, and Ms. Sarah Dotterweich in a round-table discussion about being a musician with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Drawing on their research and own personal experiences, the panelists offer a candid and honest picture of how ADHD affects them personally and professionally. From performance anxiety and executive functioning difficulties, to perfectionism and masking, our guests offer the research, survival tips, and encouragement to other neurodivergent musicians finding their way through their musical life. They also offer helpful tips for teachers, colleagues, or family members of those living with ADHD.
