    Adult ADHD ADD Tips – “Hunter Farmer” Theory and Neurodiversity
    Apr 9 2024

This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." In this episode, we'll explore the connection between the Hunter Farmer theory of ADHD and the concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergent. As we unpack these two viewpoints of ADHD, they both seem to point in the same direction: people with ADHD have gifts to contribute to society.
