About this listen
What if ADHD isn’t a deficit… but a different nervous system?
In this powerful conversation, board-certified psychiatrist Dr. William Dodson shares decades of clinical insight on ADHD, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), medication optimization, and what he calls the “interest-based nervous system.
We discuss:
• Why importance doesn’t motivate the ADHD brain
• The 5 things that reliably create engagement
• How untreated ADHD damages self-esteem• Why medication alone is never enough
• The power of having one adult who “gets it”
At Untapped Learning, this aligns deeply with our belief that executive function is the foundation. When we stop trying to “fix” students and instead understand how their brain works, everything changes.
Listen to the full episode and rethink ADHD.
