This week, we’re going to stay with this topic of our ADHD brains signal based attention system. So give us time there, but it is in the works.
And we will also be working on transcribing older episodes as time allows.

This leaves us ignoring the more nuanced signals, the ones that often speak to what really matters to us.Ĭam and Shelly discuss how many of our clients come to coaching with the limiting belief that their previous strategies “no longer work”. The challenge here is that these tools are only effective for the biggest signals, those generated by emotion or urgency. We discuss our tendency as ADHD adults to rely on the Adrenaline Response Cycle (ARC) and hyperfocus as primary tools for getting to action. This week on the Translating ADHD podcast, we dive deeper into this signal-based attention system. New episodes resume September 19th!Īs ADHD people, we pay most attention to the things that generate the biggest signals.
#HYPERFOCUS ADHD ARCHIVE#
Cam and Shelly have handpicked episodes from the archive to air while they are on their annual summer break. Moreover, the sizable prevalence of HF in adults with high levels of ADHD symptomology leads to a need to study it as a potentially separable feature of the ADHD syndrome.Īdult ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Flow Hyperfocus Internet addiction.This episode is a rebroadcast. These findings are both clinically and scientifically significant, as this is the first study to comprehensively assess HF in adults with high ADHD symptomology and to present a means for assessing HF. Those with higher ADHD symptomology reported higher total and dispositional HF and more frequent HF across each of the three settings (school, hobbies, and screen time) as well as on a fourth subscale describing real-world HF scenarios. Participants completed highly validated scales, including the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale, to index ADHD symptomology. We assess (1) a pilot sample (n = 251) and (2) a replication sample (n = 372) of adults with or without ADHD. Here, we introduce a novel assessment tool, the "Adult Hyperfocus Questionnaire" and test the preregistered a priori hypothesis that HF is more prevalent in individuals with high levels of ADHD symptomology. This has been colloquially termed "hyperfocus" (HF). Adults with ADHD often report episodes of long-lasting, highly focused attention, a surprising report given their tendency to be distracted by irrelevant information.
