ADHD Focus with David Pomeroy, MD: Recent Episodes
David Pomeroy
ADHD – What does it mean and how do you deal with it? From diagnosis to treatment, ADHD Focus will explore all aspects of ADHD. The latest research, trends and interpretations will be discussed with prominent experts in the field. We’ll also talk with people who have been diagnosed and, their families to learn their techniques for coping and pursuing a productive, happy life!
Daydreaming. Spacing out. Moving slowly, takes a long time to do anything. Always tired, even if they got a good night’s sleep. They can focus, get chores and homework done, it just takes them such a long time. This is a description of a child with Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, CDS (formerly known as Sluggish Cognitive Tempo). People with ADHD Inattentive Type can also have CDS, but not all of them do. And not all folks with CDS have ADHD either.
My guest today is Dr. Joseph Fredrick, a psychologist and head of the CDS Program of the Center for ADHD at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Join us as we explore all aspects of CDS, from diagnosis to treatment. How would a parent, teacher, or clinician identify the child with CDS? What can be done about it? (Hint – a good sleep routine to allow 8 hours of solid sleep is the first step! ). Listen (and watch if you can) to get the answers. Listen and learn!

Which assignment do I work on now? Which is more important? When is that one due? These are questions every High School and college student has to answer every day. What if there was an app that consolidated all of those answers into a single list “do these today” and completing that daily list resulted in all assignments done by the due date, even long-range ones? AND it included other activities like sports, clubs, family time!
Thanks to Nathan Hanamaika’i, that app exists! While in grad school Dr. Nate had to figure out how to complete his doctoral studies, job tasks, home chores and include personal and family time with his wife and four children. He made a spreadsheet then combined it with a calendar of due dates. As he learned more about ADHD and the challenges students have with time management, he refined his system into a composite of all the activities and tasks to be done over the coming few months for school, job, rest/restore time, personal time, exercise, and whatever else, then distilled that into day-by-day segments. Just do everything on the list for that day and due dates will be met, appointments kept, family time enjoyed!
Studyzen personalizes that for each student, using input from student, parents, school and class schedules/assignments to create the daily task set unique for the needs of the student. No more worrying about which of 5 things to do first, or at all that day! Assignments, sports, clubs, refresh time – it is possible to track it and get it done step by step.

If anyone had doubts about whether my guest or I have ADHD, in this episode of ADHD Focus we provided decisive proof that indeed we do. In a wide-ranging discussion we touched on girls/women with ADHD, student struggles with ADHD, the shame experienced by women with ADHD due to impossible-to-meet societal expectations of a woman, a housewife, a mother, and a person with a business – in any combination of those roles. And probably more…(I was in the moment, not taking (detailed) notes).
Pippa Simou has “lived experience” as the mother of an ADHD child and a woman surprised by her own “late diagnosis” of ADHD as an adult. The desire to help her son cope with his ADHD in every way possible led her to in-depth reading and inquiry about ADHD. She changed careers after teaching for 20 years to one of training teachers about ADHD and coaching other parents with ADHD children, after returning to school to get her Masters in Psychology degree. She is a coaching psychologist in London (yes, the London, the city in the UK), a coach/trainer, and is developing a unique program for mentoring young teen girls with ADHD, to “give them hope, to be the voice I wish I had heard”.
She is actively pursuing grants to fund research in ”proof of concept” for her mentoring program, the concept being that mentoring can prevent the painful “lived experience” girls with undiagnosed ADHD so commonly go through. [ If you have access to funds for this research, or know someone who does, please contact Pippa! ]

Micromoments of shame – stepping over the box you were going to take upstairs as you go upstairs, passing by the unfolded laundry, discovering the clothes in the washer from two days ago…we have them daily. Maybe neurotypical folks do too, but ADHDers have many more every day. this expression is not originally mine, a friend passed along a meme with that title. Apologies to the author, I do not know your name. Spot on concept.
Shame. The elephant in the room with ADHD, the feeling at the root of our familiar self-concept as “not good enough”. How it develops in people with ADHD and how we grow to believe and talk about ourselves in negative terms – a dummy, an idiot, a failure, incompetent, not good enough – join me and my guest Linda Roggli as we uncover the role of shame in the lives of people with ADHD. We have ADHD, it does not have to define us. Shame has us believing otherwise.
Linda Roggli a person I call a “thinker” in the field of ADHD, one who steps back and looks at the big picture, in her case also informed by her own ADHD (as is my perspective by my own ADHD).
She created the ADHD Palooza series starting in 2016 and now holds one for Women in the Spring (April 1-6, don’t miss it! Register https://fn101.isrefer.com/go/women24/pomeroy/ ) and one for Couples in the Fall, she is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) in the field of ADHD, an award-winning author – Confessions of an ADDiva – and founder of the A-D-Diva Network for ADHD women 40-and-better – www.addiva.net

Inattentive ADHD, the Stealth Diagnosis. People with Inattentive ADHD tend to fly under the radar for years, decades even, women and girls more often (inadvertently) than men and boys. They are labeled as disorganized, always late, space case, overwhelmed and over-committed, the kid with no friends, the school dropout. After High School (almost half the kids with not treated for their ADHD drop out) life is even more of a struggle. How can these folks be identified earlier, so they can have the chance to climb up to the level of function of neurotypicals? Later-in-life diagnosis, in 30s, 40s, even 50s and beyond, results in lost opportunities and more mental health problems along the way, primarily anxiety disorders and depression.
My guest today is Cynthia Hammer MSW, founder of two non-profit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of ADHDers everywhere, author of the recently published book Living with Inattentive ADHD: Climbing the Circular Staircase of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and a good friend of many years. Cynthia recently started the Inattentive ADHD Coalition (www.iadhd.org ) to advocate for universal screening of children for ADHD, to identify and enable treatment of children with ADHD so they do not have lifelong struggles with ADHD, at least not so many and so severe as those diagnosed later in life. Join us to enjoy a wide-ranging discussion about Inattentive ADHD, including debates on certain points. Which points? Listen and find out!

Women with undiagnosed ADHD of either Type “pay” more for it than do men, this is the Female ADHD Tax. Women and men who have undiagnosed ADHD struggle with life; they have higher risks of relationship issues, involvement with unwanted pregnancies, lower educational progress, lower-paying jobs, AND higher incidence of anxiety, depression, and domestic partner violence (to name a few) than neurotypical folks, and women with ADHD have a higher “tax rate” than do men.
Deborah Brooks is a psychotherapist in Ottawa, Canada. She joins me today to discuss The Female ADHD Tax, how it comes about and what can be done to “lower the tax rate”. Listen, and learn!

Do you feel that the treatments for your child’s ADHD and co-occurring Anxiety and/or Learning Disorders and/or Depression are not working for …something else but you don’t know what? That there are signs – behaviors, meltdowns, struggles with friends – that things are not yet OK, that something is being missed. You are totally spent by the end of each day, your house is a mess, you have given up seeing friends – in order that you can put 100% of your time and energy into helping your child.
Maybe this is not your struggle, but you see this going on in a friend, or a relative, or a neighbor, or co-worker.
My guest today is Elaine Taylor-Klaus, founder of IMPACTparents, author of The Essential Guide to raising Complex Kids, Master Certified Coach, and parent to four neurodivergent children. Her experiences, personal and professional, have led her to believe that the “something else” for many girls (and women) is Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Join us as we discuss the clues, the behaviors, the symptoms that suggest an evaluation for ASD is in order; the role that parents play and how critical it is that parents get coaching in how to parent these exceptional children, it is the single most-important thing they can do to help their child. Parents need validation, recognition that the difficulties they face every day are way beyond the norm of parenting challenges AND that they are not alone. Many families are in the same struggle.

Why do we ADHDers (which includes myself) toss one task aside and choose to do another? Why are some of us usually arriving late to meetings, dates, dinner at home? What we call Procrastination and Poor Time Management may actually have foundations in a different aspect of ADHD, Self-awareness. The strategies for changing those symptoms/habits is different than other proposed solutions when seen through the lens of Self-awareness.
My guest today is Jeff Copper, an ADHD Coach certified by both the International Coaching Federation and the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches. You can catch his programs on Attention Talk Radio and Attention Talk Video, as well as at www.digcoaching.com. Jeff founded his Dig Coaching Practice in 2007 to help clients with ADHD dig through the usual frames of reference for symptoms down to the foundational issues. When his clients have what Jeff terms the “Aha !” moment, they have gained a different perspective on the problem, which then enables them to approach it from a different angle.
Join us as we examine how you can make it easier to resume “the flow“of the thought process of doing one task when it has been interrupted by – a noise/person with question/thoughts triggered by the details of the task/thoughts wandering to the weekend. Listen, and learn!

Welcome to the inaugural Video production of ADHD Focus, available on YouTube at ADHD Focus Kristin Swanson 32323
And coming soon to Roku and Firestick! The audio podcast of course remains available on most podcast channels.
Do you know your ADHD-related strengths? So many of the resources for ADHDers talk about strategies to address weaknesses in our ADHD function, “impairments” to work on, how to get ahead of our deficits. But we have strengths too, ways that our brains work which neurotypicals do not have.
Are you often frozen in perfectionism and/or shame which lead to one of the forms of procrastination? (raises his hand…me)
Can you recognize instances when boundaries on “want to” get in the way of “have to” and “need to” tasks/activities?
My guest today is Kristin Swanson, coach and consultant, expert in helping her clients how to get their “someday when I…” projects done. As a breast cancer survivor, Kristin learned the importance of getting out of one’s own way and how to stop waiting until “someday” to make a unique impact. Realizing deeply that “you only live once,” she has gained perspective, tools and strategies to overcome the illusions which fear instills in us.

Why do people with ADHD need boundaries? Why do we typically have poor boundaries? Tamara Rosier joins us for a second time for an enlightening discussion about boundaries. Tamara Rosier, Phd is the Founder of the ADHD Center of Western Michigan and author of ‘Your Brain’s no Broken”.

“I can’t be late for work again! Where are my keys?” “Mom, where are my baseball shoes?” “It’s past midnight again, and I have that 7am meeting”. Do any of these sound familiar? Getting up earlier to get to work on time won’t work; setting a routine, a habit of where you put the keys when you get home will work.
Value your time more than anything else. More than your income, more than your rank in your profession, more than anything. That widens your perspective and can provide the motivation to change your daily system, your routines and habits.
My guest today is Nic McLaughlin, ADHD and Executive Function coach. He started MasterADHDNow to help improve the lives of ADHDers and others struggling with ASDFAKP. Over 1000 clients have found his methods enabled them to get more done more efficiently, saving the time and not wasting energy in the amount of effort it took to get through a day at work or a day at home.
