Curious how others felt about the NYT article.
If you’re ADHD-diagnosed or late-diagnosed: did it resonate, or did it feel invalidating?
If you’re a coach, clinician, educator, or parent: how are you holding these questions? #ADHD

Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong? (Gift Article)
With diagnoses at a record high, some experts have begun to question our assumptions about the condition — and how to treat it.

Here’s what I tell clients:
You don’t need perfect science to validate your experience.
Your challenges, your strengths, your brain — they’re real.
There are tools, mindsets, and habits that can help you thrive.
Let’s build from there. (7/8)

The article is kind of a Rorschach test.
If you’re skeptical of ADHD, it might validate that.
If you’ve lived it, it might feel like yet another round of “Do I *really* have this? He says meds don't work. What do I do?"
Either way, it doesn’t offer much for people trying to move forward. (6/8)

If you’re thriving now that you’ve found the right environment or career fit, that’s great. Truly.
But that doesn’t mean ADHD wasn’t there.
Many adults I coach say, “I wasn’t broken — I was just in the wrong system.”
And yes: ADHD can be both contextual and real. (5/8)

Instead, the tone shifts between “ADHD is maybe overdiagnosed” and “the meds don’t work long term” and “maybe it’s not a brain thing at all.”
That may be provocative. But for many, it’s destabilizing, especially those who’ve spent years being told their challenges aren’t real. (4/8)

The biggest miss?
It barely mentions adults.
No real discussion of late diagnosis, executive function challenges, masking, burnout, or the *lived* reality of ADHD in high-pressure careers. (3/8)

The piece raises important questions about diagnosis, medication, and long-term outcomes — especially in children.
But from where I sit, it risks muddying the waters for adults already trying to make sense of their ADHD experience. (2/8)

Read the recent New York Times Magazine piece, “Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong?”. As an #ADHD coach who works with adult professionals — many of them late-diagnosed — I have thoughts: some appreciation, some frustration.

Let’s unpack it. (1/8)

Big cuts are coming soon to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, per multiple reports, including layoffs of roughly a third of the workforce (Politico says much more) and terminations of major threat-hunting contracts.

When your threat model is being a moron

No phone, no app, no encryption can protect you from yourself if you send the information you’re trying to hide directly to someone you don’t want to have it.

US Officials Private data & passwords online?

TRUE for every official, regardless of party.

You too, if you're an American.

BAD for so many reasons. Including national security.

BECAUSE the US hasn't enacted serious privacy protections for citizens. 1/

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
