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

🍭 The difference between dopamine “hunger” and true connection

🏫 How compliance-based classrooms can amplify emotional and behavioral symptoms

🔁 Rewiring steps that transform coping mechanisms into genuine superpowers
