One of the most profound things I read in my original journey to ADHD diagnosis was what Dr. Ned Hallowell calls “the cough drop sign” in the book, Driven To Distraction.
I’d never felt more seen before reading this quote.
It comes from one of Hallowell’s ADHD patients:
They should have skate parks but for cars. I pay taxes, I want to take my Buick off a quarter pipe. I’ll sign a waiver. I just feel like i deserve to see what happens.
