Before I finish the book, here's some of the information I found extremely helpful, what will help you to 'cure' your ADHD if done repetitively over time, to rewire, and create those neural pathways in your brain that didn't develop.

This book has explained how emotions create the structures in your brain, the release of certain neuro-chemicals, and thus the development of your brain. What you will hear me talk about in this episode, it's about how Neurodivergence, or ADHD, is where your brain hasn't been able to develop properly. In my last episode I talked about deficits, if you didn't reach certain milestones cognitively, they are not developed (deficits), but our brains have neuroplasticity, it can develop over time, just like a muscle. If you meet those deficits or needs that didn't get met, this will develop your brain and consequently heal ADHD. I'm not sure if this is something that will completely heal, or the symptoms will just get less severe; a lot of the source of my ADHD comes down to my primary attachment figure which is created whilst you're in utero, and primarily the first nine months after being born, but continues to develop through childhood. This is to say that my attachment with my mum and environment for us as a family during my childhood is what I believe has caused my ADHD. I'm not sure if it's possible to change your attachment, but whether my perception or ability to navigate that relationship will help me heal and develop that attachment is something I don't know yet but think is absolutely possible as I've seen hints of change/acceptance on my part. So as I continue to read the book I'm sure I will get the answers and share them, but for now here is my current working hypothesis.

And whilst you're at it, here's what made me have such a lovely morning this morning… because, this is a diary as well, somewhere for me to reflect back and remind myself of what works for me, because I forget lots of things. I think I might have ADHD.

Keep Fumbling Forward,
