    Seattle Adults' Meetup & Non-ADHD Partners' Group

    4th Wednesday - 7-8:45pm

    June 26 - The Paradox of ADHD:Extreme Strengths Paired with Stunning Weaknesses - Don Baker, MA, LMHC

    Is the Paradox of Your Diagnosis Tripping You Up?

    This presentation is based on a section of David Giwerc’s book “Permission to Proceed”
    Learning Objectives:
    1. Why it’s valuable to define, understand and apply “paradox” (anything that exhibits an 
    apparently contradictory nature) to our diagnosis

    2. Clarify what ignites your paradoxical disparities of behavior, performance, and ability

    3. Apply this understanding to your life and tip the balance of your focus away from what you aren’t doing well/right to what is automatic/easy/innate
    “Outstanding strengths paired with debilitating weaknesses are the hallmark of ADHD. Strengths are closely tied to interest; weaknesses are closely tied to boredom or lack of interest. People with ADHD most often exhibit their strengths in situations that hold their interest and automatically engage them. By contrast, their weaknesses will be exacerbated by situations that are uninteresting to them.” 
    -From “Permission to Proceed” by David Giwerc
    Don Baker, MA has been a leader in the local Seattle ADHD community for over 15 years. He is an inspiring and passionate speaker with an expertise in ADHD. Don has a unique way of making the difficult understandable and offers practical guidance, clear strategies and a unique optimistic perspective based on a wealth of personal and professional experience and education.
