Dr. Dodson Quotes

Dr. William Dodson

ADHD Servant Leader

"Most people get either poorly treated and/or humiliated by the process that less than 25% of people who are seen by a clinician are still involved in any treatment at the end of one year. The only thing that will change this will be a very public malpractice suit for negligent care (or, more likely, no care at all) that will jolt docs out of their complacency."

"Dr. Russel Barkley cannot be blamed for coining the term emotional dysregulation (ED)

which has been bouncing around the psychiatric literature for at least a decade, searching for a definition. Merely claiming the concept as an executive function deficit (EFD) does not make it one."

Dr. Dodson Quotes

Dr. William Dodson

ADHD Servant Leader

"A child’s worst fears are that they are unlovable (because they are broken in some way) and they are going to be abandoned with a problem they cannot fix, no matter how hard they try. If a child knows that you see the potential for greatness in them, they will walk through Hell for you to deliver that greatness.

"In 2019, the European Network Adult ADHD issued a Consensus Guideline that set forth adult ADHD diagnostic criteria for the very 1st time. The really big change was that the EU finally added emotions to the behavioral features that had constituted the diagnostic criteria up to that time. It should be noted that the US organization that prevented adult criteria more than any other (ABSARD) for 20 years was headed by Dr. Barkley."

"Some in my profession view people who have an ADHD style nervous system as being Neurotypical people who are damaged or deficient (without any apparent awareness of how hostile that attitude is)."

Startup Captain to Middle Manager: Why ADHD Directors Thrive in Film but Suffice in TV
While feature filmmaking provides the ultimate playground for an ADHD mind, moving into episodic television often strips away those exact neurological safeguards.

The Neurological Playground: Why Film Directing is the Ultimate Job for ADHD
For an ADHD mind, a traditional 9-to-5 desk job can feel like a sensory deprivation chamber. But a movie set? That is a high-stimulus, ever-changing environment where the unique traits of ADHD transition from "symptoms" into pure creative superpowers. By looking at how a film is built, structured, and executed, it becomes clear that the […]

The Goalkeeper Paradox: High-Stakes Focus, Spatial Clarity, and the Multisport Advantage
The goalkeeper position in soccer is a fascinating paradox: it is an isolated, highly specialized role that requires intense psychological resilience, making it uniquely suited for an athlete with ADHD. While it is often viewed as a "wallflower" position because the keeper stands apart from the continuous, fluid movement of the rest of the team, […]

Striking a Balance: How Rhythmic Bowling Mechanics Calm and Coordinate the Autistic Nervous System
In the context of sports, recreation, and adapted physical activity, bowling is often a highly recommended sport for individuals on the autism spectrum (ASD). However, standard delivery styles can sometimes feel mechanically rigid or sensory-jarring. The "rock the baby" approach—a specialized bowling delivery technique where the bowler cradles or swings the ball smoothly close to the body, emphasizing a […]

Treating the intersection of ADHD and OCD requires a highly deliberate, Modified Aproach of ERP
Treating the intersection of ADHD and OCD requires a highly deliberate, modified approach. Standard OCD treatment (like traditional ERP) can sometimes feel too rigid or under-stimulating for an ADHD brain, while standard ADHD coaching can accidentally feed into OCD compulsions—especially reassurance-seeking disguised as "problem-solving" or "checking." To break the shame loop without feeding the compulsion cycle, clinicians […]

The Neurodivergent Arena: Singles vs. Doubles Table Tennis
For individuals navigating neurodivergence, sports are rarely just about physical exercise. They are an intense exercise in cognitive load management. While a sport like soccer introduces a massive, 21-vector matrix of chaotic human movement, table tennis shrinks the physical universe down to a highly predictable, $9 \times 5$ foot geometric surface. However, how a brain processes this […]
