The Side Effect of an ADHD Diagnosis

The Side Effect of an ADHD Diagnosis
on: March 30, 2011 by: Bryan Hutchinson 16 Comments , , , , ...

Yesterday I was interviewed by Tara McGillicuddy for ADDclasses.com  and we talked about creativity. It was a very interesting conversation and I hope you have the chance to listen to it. There was something that I talked a little about in our conversation and that was about how sometimes the diagnosis of ADHD can lead one to believe all hope is lost, and even start experiencing symptoms that were previously not noticeable or problematic. I am calling this: The side effect of ADHD diagnosis. I’ve suffered a bit from it myself. Of course, I am making up ‘the side effect’ part, but am I really? Read on and make your own decision. Let me know if you have been affected by the side effect of an ADHD diagnosis. The side effect of an ADHD diagnosis is a very common side effect and a lot of people suffer from it. As […]

The Incredible Frustrating ADHD Drive to Achieve

The Incredible Frustrating ADHD Drive to Achieve
on: March 20, 2011 by: Bryan Hutchinson 19 Comments ...

In December I published a blog post about creativity and ADHD. Although I believe creativity is a natural phenomenon in all people to different degrees, I expressed why I believe people with ADHD are more creative than others who do not have ADHD. A study about ADHD and creativity was released this month, 3 months after I posted my article. The study basically supports what I wrote in December and have written several times prior. I did not know about the study at the time I posted my article. You can read my blog post about creativity and ADHD here. Then please feel free to compare it to the recently released findings of the study about creativity and ADHD here. Before more studies about the positive aspects of ADHD come out, and I am sure they will, I want to tell you about why I believe people with ADHD seem […]

For Parents and Teachers of Children with ADHD – Adults with ADHD too!

For Parents and Teachers of Children with ADHD – Adults with ADHD too!
on: March 15, 2011 by: Bryan Hutchinson 7 Comments , , , , ...

This is a very special announcement. I have a new book coming out in a couple short weeks. It is my labor of love, the grandest adventure and the most ambitious writing I have endeavored since One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir. The title of my new book is 7 Crucial Tips for Parents and Teachers of Children with ADHD. Don’t let the title fool you though, this new book will be just as important a read for adults with ADHD as it is for parents and teachers. I would even go so far as calling it my Manifesto – at least, that’s what my wife is calling it. The new book shares with readers what I consider the 7 most crucial tips for parents and teachers. Because of how serious I am about this new book I asked two professional therapists (who you may have heard of) to write forewords […]

The Brilliant Gifts of Hyper Focus and Positivity

The Brilliant Gifts of Hyper Focus and Positivity
on: March 13, 2011 by: Bryan Hutchinson 8 Comments , , , , ...

(This post was inspired by an email I received from a young lady who was attacked angrily on a forum because she talked about hyper focus. The other person claimed it doesn’t exist.) I love to hyper focus and I do it on a regular basis, I’ve written many blog posts about it, I wrote extensively about it in my first book One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir and, I have additionally written an eBook about it in an effort to help others discover ways to hyper focus at will. However, although hyper focus is a well known ADHD trait, not everyone with ADHD can hyper focus easily, sometimes rarely and some seemingly not at all. I tend to believe everyone has been lost in focus at one point or another, forgetting to eat, missing a turn or, just realizing by looking up at the clock that whoa, so much time […]

Where in the world is Bryan?

Where in the world is Bryan?

It’s true I haven’t been around much for a little while. And it’s also true I haven’t been answering all of my emails or much else online. So where have I been? I have been recovering from chronic appendicitis and the removal of my appendix. The first two months of 2011 and the last two months of 2010 has been some tough months trying to figure out what was wrong and then the surgery and recovery. I should be back to doing what I do in a few weeks. As a matter of fact I have had a lot of time to search through my files and documents and have discovered a treasure trove of unpublished writings. Lot’s more positive stuff about life with ADHD and other musings. A few of the documents are too long for blog posts and just about long enough to be published as books, but […]
