RT ADDCA: If you live life based on how others tell you to learn, and it doesn't work, you think you're broken -you're not
If you have been living your life based on what others tell you are the ways you must learn, and those ways haven’t been working for you, you may be apt to believe that you are incapable of learning, or somehow broken.
Understanding your unique brain wiring can help you facilitate home, school and workplace environments that honor and serve your unique brain wiring.There are approximately 7.3 billion people in the world. It is estimated that about 4 percent of the world’s population has ADHD. Research also indicates that 85 percent of those who might have it don’t know it because they are undiagnosed.
As an adult, your brain reaches a level of physical maturity and development where it has created 100 billion neurons. Each one of these neurons represents a chemical factory that manufactures important neurotransmitters that support your ability to perform a variety of different functions. Each one of your 100 billion neurons is connected to between 10,000 and 15,000 bridges that facilitate each neuron’s ability to communicate with others.
Here you are, born with an infinite set of processing options, and the rest of the world says, ‘We will choose them for you, and if they don’t work because that is not the way your brain works, well, that is just too bad.”If you have been living your life based on what others tell you are the ways you must learn, and those ways haven’t been working for you, you may be apt to believe that you are incapable of learning.
