As ADHDers, we grow up with potential being lorded over us and being told that we can't seem to meet it, and any time we come close to it, we just never quite manage to grasp it. It's become a word that I've really come to dislike, and this episode explains why...
This is a short series I'm going to do where I'll explore what is potential and whether we've been taught to think of it in the wrong way? If so, how can we go about changing those beliefs in a way that makes sense and works for us? Either way, hopefully, this episode will have you rethinking about what potential should mean for you.
The Problem with Potential and ADHD
1. Invisible condition that's consistently inconsistent
2. We're working the best we can
3. Society already decided our potential for us
4. Potential is often set by looking at us
5. Gender binary problems - always!
