First of all, a huge shout out to all of my new found friends and colleagues I met at the IDSA NW Chapter Conference this past weekend.
I’ve been on a pretty cool journey for the past year. I was diagnosed/confirmed as having ADHD. I’ve been blogging about it, and figuring out how it fits into my life. The reaction I’ve received since starting my blog has been life changing. It all had a cherry put on top this past weekend.
I presented on the topic of ADHD and the Creative Mind. Like my confirmed diagnosis of having ADHD, I knew I wasn’t alone in dealing with this issue in the world of Design. The number of people I have had approach me since speaking out on the subject has been amazing. This past weekend, getting to meet some of you face to face was one of the best things that’s happened to me in a long, long time.
Not much else to say other than, Thank You to everyone who was there and listened. The talk will be posted to the IDSA site in due course. I’d love to hear more stories, and would love any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can get this conversation out to more people.
Thanks!
