Living with ADHD means you’ve got a race car brain with bicycle brakes. That’s the analogy we’ve used with our patients in our decades of clinical practice to much success. Not only does it comprehensively sum up the realities of ADHD, but it does so in a shame-free way that restores a positive self-image. Managing ADHD symptoms, we explain, is all about strengthening those brakes – and there are a host of ways to do that.
But thriving with ADHD starts with something more elemental: rethinking our core concept of the condition. On our end, we’ve gone as far as to rename attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD). We think a more accurate name is variable attention stimulus trait, or VAST, which places focus not on a “deficit” of attention, but an abundance of it.

We’ve tried crushing tablets and opening capsules and putting the medicine in spoonfuls of pudding. However, he is clever enough to know that the medication is in the concoction, and refuses to take it. My husband and I have tried everything. He did great for a week or two (on a variety of oral ADHD medications), then decided he didn’t like the ‘taste’ and ‘texture.’ He cannot swallow capsules or pills, but we are working on it. We are not sure what to do.”
