Maybe Ms. Ramundo is unaware of the deficit model. I read between the lines in slide 3 that people with ADHD lack the higher-order cognitive skills that you mention. You could focus on that which folks with ADHD have instead of other skills, like our versatility or strong verbal recall.

Thank you for the 30-minute task timer suggestion

  I don’t think it’s suggesting people with ADhD don’t have higher cognitive function but that when the amygdala kicks in those higher functions crease (true in all brains). From what I understand the amygdala shuts down the higher functions so we don’t “reason it out”. – we just run! It’s been likened to our caveman brain taking over for a while.
