Dr. Dodson Quotes

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)."

Controlled Chaos: How an Undiagnosed Director Wired Hollywood for Executive Dysfunction
The traditional image of a Hollywood film director is an all-seeing auteur, a rigid general executing a flawless tactical campaign.

For Jack Sholder, a veteran […]

The Fallacy of the Deficit: How the ADHD Brain Weaponizes Executive Function “Under Fire”
In the landscape of modern neuropsychology, Dr. Russell Barkley’s model of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder stands as a dominant paradigm. Barkley defines ADHD not as a knowledge deficit, but as a chronic, pervasive failure of executive functioning (EF) and self-regulation. In his view, the ADHD brain is biologically incapable of reliably holding onto working memory, […]

The Ghost in the Machine vs. The Genius of Chaos
The intersection of Dr. Russell Barkley’s lifetime work—which defines ADHD as a fundamental deficit in executive functioning and self-regulation—and the traditional ethos of Brazilian soccer coaching represents a total clash of paradigms. Barkley’s methods rely on explicit structure, externalized scaffolds, and systematic behavioral regulation. Brazilian football development, historically and culturally, thrives on implicit learning, chaotic environments, and […]

Like Clockwork: The Rigorous Swiss Support for the ADHD Athlete
When looking at how Switzerland approaches support for athletes with ADHD, the framework is shaped by two things: Swiss Olympic’s decentralized ethical codes and a highly clinical, precision-focused medical model.

The Caddy vs. The Lab Bench: Why the Sports Psychologist Outperforms the Traditional Clinician for the ADHD Golfer
