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."

Sisko Quotes

ADHD Advocate

"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)."

The Case of Steve Jobs’s Second Act at Apple, the “Michelin Star” Visionary
Steve Jobs’s second act at Apple is the ultimate case study in what happens when an intense, "Michelin Star" visionary learns better behavioral regulation, yet remains fundamentally driven by unfettered Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). When Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he was older, wiser, and more calculated. He had learned the institutional scaffolding required […]

The Michelin Star Mind in the Quiet of Real Life: Understanding RSD When you take the "Michelin Star Mind" out of the high-heat environment and drop them into interpersonal relationships, that social friction is very often driven by unfettered Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). RSD is an intense, agonizing emotional vulnerability to the perception—not necessarily the reality—of […]

The Chemical Straightjacket: Tracking the Shadow Arc of an ADHD Brain Misdiagnosed with Bipolar Type I
When pop star Demi Lovato revealed in her 2021 docuseries that she had been misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder—and actually had ADHD—it cast a stark light on an incredibly common psychiatric crossroads. For over a decade, her public narrative was built around the relief, and subsequent struggle, of treating a severe mood disorder. Without assuming or […]

How Systemic Failures Lead to the Ultimate Escape Room: Prison
When these specific, acute layers of trauma—sexual assault, physical assault, and witnessing chronic violence at home, in the neighborhood, and/or at school—are forced onto an undiagnosed ADHD brain, the institutional pipeline accelerates with terrifying velocity. For a child navigating these horrors, the brain is not just under-stimulated; it is profoundly, constantly terrorized. Adding these layers of […]

The Genetic Extinction of Innovation: Why a World Without ADHD Would Stand Completely Still
It is one of modern medicine’s favorite projects: identifying, tracking, and trying to "correct" the genetic variants associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). From a purely linear, bureaucratic perspective, the logic seems obvious. If we can smooth out the restlessness, eradicate the executive dysfunction, and teach every brain to sit quietly in a standardized […]

The Case of the Sci-Fi Emissary: Benjamin Sisko and the Jazz of Non-Linear Leadership
When Starfleet Command assigned Commander Benjamin Sisko to the backwater station of Deep Space Nine, they thought they were deploying a standard, bureaucratic manager to oversee an orderly transition. They wanted a bureaucrat to follow the playbook, check the boxes, and file the paperwork. Instead, the universe gave them an Emissary. If Starfleet’s rigid, rule-bound […]

The Case of the ADHD Emissary”
The concept of a "hyper-reactive, non-linear brain driven by extreme empathy" reaches its historical zenith in the ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If we look past the textbook caricature of King as a calm, statuesque monument and look instead at the chaotic, high-stress reality of how he actually operated, he fits the mold […]

The Case of the ADHD Pope: Cardinal Bergoglio’s Field Hospital
Before he was Pope Francis, he was Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires. But long before he ever wore the white cassock, the architecture of his ministry was already defined by a distinct cognitive rhythm: a profound intolerance for rigid, static protocol, an insatiable need for raw sensory input, and a hyper-reactive emotional volume […]

The Executive Disruptor: Why Teddy Roosevelt Was America’s First “Steve Jobs” President
History books love to paint Theodore Roosevelt as a rugged cowboy, a monocled rough rider, or a booming voice shouting "Bully!" across the lawn. But if you strip away the 20th-century scenery and look strictly at the architecture of his mind, TR wasn’t a traditional politician at all. He was America's first true Silicon Valley-style […]
