What is ADHD?
<p>At Lynda Hoffman Life Coaching in Montreal, I offer <a href="https://lyndahoffman.com/adhd-coaching-in-montreal/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">ADHD coaching</a> to adults, couples and families who are struggling to create the positive outcomes they desire.</p>
<p>It begins with understanding ADHD<br />
ADHD is a neurological disorder that affects many areas of life. It is directly linked to weaknesses in the brain’s executive functioning skills — the master controls for <a href="https://lyndahoffman.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">self-monitoring</a> and self-regulating goal-directed and emotional behaviour.</p>
<p>In ADHD teens, weaknesses in these areas mean more emotional outbursts, disorganization, lost gloves and school bags, and forgetting homework at school.</p>
<p>In ADHD adults, this may look like unfinished projects, job losses, and financial difficulties.</p>
<p>For both children and adults, ADHD can create a “blindness to time”. (Russell Barkley Ph.D.) This can look like struggling to leave for school on time, being late for appointments, or getting lost in a task, unaware that hours have gone by. Rushing at the last minute, a hallmark of ADHD, is partly a result of not “feeling” the deadline approaching. Essentially, people with ADHD know what they need to do; they simply are not able to do it when they are expected to.</p>
