MEMO FROM: Patricia Lloyd, Ph.D.
As someone with ADHD, who has worked for decades as a university administrator, university instructor, and career consultant, I know the inner workings of the ADHD brain close up and cozy.

SPOILER ALERT!
Often in ADHD Reframed!, I speak about ADHD, the American Psychiatric Association, and the manual of mental disorders with tongue in cheek and play devil’s advocate to raise consciousness of the credible, alternative ways to view and experience ADHD.
ADHD is celebrated here!
Reframe the negative labels slapped on ADHD by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and written up in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. ADHD Reframed! shows you how.
The undervalued ADHD traits, strengths and abilities are revealed in ADHD Reframed! The treasure of a lifetime for ADHDers with renewed life experiences and a constructive, fulfilling career.
Introducing a way you have
never seen ADHD before!
Does this list of words sound okay to you?
[]Sounds okay to me too. Except psychiatrists and psychologists don’t think so. They use those words to describe ADHD as a mental disorder.
Well … they don’t use those exact words. Instead, they use words that mean the same thing but sound negative.
The manual of mental disorders tells what ADHDers can’t do. ADHD Reframed! tells what ADHDers CAN do!
It’s time! Time for recasting ADHD! A whole new meaning for ADHD unveiled.
Introducing a renewed life … a renewed career … straight-ahead … that is, if you are willing to learn new ways of experiencing ADHD.
Discounted, undervalued ADHD traits, strengths and abilities are highlighted and celebrated for the first time ever in ADHD Reframed! Discover Your ADHD Strengths,
Cast Them in the Right Career.
Hunter-Gatherers Would Have Been Diagnosed ADHD
Many evolutionary psychologists attribute ADHD traits to the hand-me-down genes of hunter-gatherers.
Hunter-gatherer forked attention, physically active, willful, and risk-taking survival traits align with the traits of ADHD. That makes ADHDers hunter-gatherers stuck in a contemporary society.
The easily distracted, impulsive, restless, reckless and the can’t-sit-at-a-desk-all-day behaviors were valued, even envied before work was regimented and divided into times for reaping and times for sowing.
That’s when ADHD hunter-gatherers were stopped cold in their mammoth stalking tracks. Their adventuresome lives put on hold when farming, the industrial revolution, and mandatory education hit.
Complications for ADHDers were instantaneous.
ADHDers, with their dislike for the-my-way-or-the-highway-management-rule, were thrown out of the mainstream of contemporary workplaces and schools.
Career research is consistent and definite. Natural abilities … innate strengths … inherent traits … inborn talents must be used to realize the greatest potential for success, wealth, and happiness in your career.
Because natural strengths and abilities must have an outlet and have to be expressed … it’s pretty much a given that ADHDers, stripped of opportunities to use their natural traits, strengths and abilities, will find ways to whittle away their time.
Prisoners dig tunnels, spouses sign-up at Ashley Madison, employees create problems, bosses gamble away the payroll, and students hack into Pentagon computers, and so on.
When stripped of opportunities and constructive outlets for using our natural strengths and abilities, we’re busy little eager beavers, restless for distractions. We often do it in time wasting, unproductive even destructive ways.
Time for a reality check on how you are wasting your life, impulsively chasing distractions in unproductive, destructive ways.
REALITY CHECK #1: Do you recognize your ADHD traits? Here’s where your easily-distracted-impulsive-restless-reckless-can’t-sit-down-at-a-desk-all-day behaviors swamp you. When you don’t know what you are experiencing, you continue stumbling along, falling down flat on your face.
Take a serious look at your personal brand of ADHD. ADHD Reframed! lists a summary of ADHD traits you can understand.
REALITY CHECK #2: Do you blindly accept the negative ADHD labels? Or do you know there are ADHD strengths and abilities hidden behind the negative labels?
You cannot change reality. But you can change the perception of reality for yourself and the perception of ADHD.
If you don’t change the way you see yourself, you could be in the exact same place in 10 years as you are now.
You can stay stuck with the negative labels of easily distracted, impulsive, reckless, restless, and all the other negative labels smacked on you.
And if that makes your skin crawl, then discover new ways to cast yourself … in the right career … in the right role … on the right stage.
You can reframe every single negative label and see them as the positive strengths they really are. ADHD Reframed! shows you how.
If you have made the decision to change and take charge of your life … ADHD Reframed! guides you through it, all the way into the career recasting studio.
REALITY CHECK #3: Can you specifically identify your ADHD natural strengths? In other words, do you know your natural ADHD abilities, innate strengths, inborn talents? Can you match them to careers?
ADHD Reframed! matches your ADHD strengths and abilities to the right career that requires your special natural talents.
Cast your ADHD self in the right career … on the right stage … by linking your natural ADHD abilities to specific made-for-ADHD-careers.
You get only one ticket for a life. There are no do-overs, no instant replays, no delete buttons, no options for overtime, no rain checks. There’s no time to waste your special natural ADHD abilities.
Now … is the time for reassessing ADHD. Do you want to carry around those negative ADHD labels for a lifetime?
Or do you want to do some rebranding … reframing … and change your perception of yourself and your ADHD?
Do you want to discover the gifted, talented person you are with a wealth of undervalued, unrecognized, unappreciated special strengths and abilities by reframing your ADHD traits with the positive words and phrases they deserve?
Do you want to discover how to reframe those negative ADHD traits into the positive strengths they are?
Do you want to know what the natural ADHD abilities are?
Do you want to cast the innate ADHD strengths, abilities & talents into the right career … on the right stage?

[]As a perfect layman in the world of psychology and psychiatry,
I enjoyed the hell out of reading ADHD Reframed! by Dr. Patricia Lloyd. An informative, refreshing look at a mysterious subject for the average person. “Interests are inspired; abilities are inborn and always there.” Something for thinking people also in Dr. Lloyd ‘ s book!

[]As to style, Patricia Lloyd, PhD presents an engaging, entertaining, humorous, informative book on ADHD for the average, person-on-the-street. She cleverly avoids technical jargon to get her point across without scaring off the average reader. Very effective.
As to content, not sure what contrast she is trying to draw between ADHDers and…well, therein lies the rub. Should we think of all ADHDers as nurturing, caring, imaginative, creative contributors to the social well being, or are there other examples that might prove the generally accepted negative perception? We don’t know what Lloyd has to say in that regard because she never brings it up. According to her account, society has simply gotten it wrong all these years, that is, the general (read professional) negative understanding of ADHD, especially when it comes to career choices, is simply off the mark. She contends the general perception of ADHD is wrong because it just leaves out too much that is positive.
On the other hand, her purpose is quite clear. Lloyd aims to show that ADHD can be understood as a positive, exhilarating, and fulfilling experience. In addition, the way she takes on the DSM surely goes a long way to show that we (professional or not) label things according to how we perceive them. In other words, if we perceive ADHD (or any other experience for that matter) as a negative (which no one should disagree that the DSM’s characterization of ADHD is cast in negative terms as Lloyd points out more than once), then that is the way we will describe such experiences. But, if we see something in a positive sense, well, the description is likewise predictable. To put it that way, however, leaves unresolved the main issue. Namely, how should we perceive and understand ADHD in society, education, and career possibilities? That is exactly what Lloyd sets out to do, and does it in spades. In addition, she provides some free resources for personal exploration and insight, whether ADHD or not. Very much worth the short read, especially for ADHDers.

[]Dr. Lloyd has provided a concise, entertaining, fast-paced read that clearly shows us ADHD is a “trait” and not a “disorder.” Several valuable links are provided to books if you wish more in depth correlation of this positive representation of ADHD. The last 20 pages dealing specifically with career choices provides links to websites provided by the Federal government etc., which will be invaluable to anyone facing this task. And her hints for navigation show her to be the career counseling professional that she is.

[]I thought ADHD Reframed gave a very interesting and insightful view of ADHD.
I liked the positive twist on the individual characteristics associated with ADHD. Patricia Lloyd also gives clear directions on how to use ONET to aide someone searching for a job that would be a good match for a person with different ADHD traits.

[]Oh my goodness! I am so loving this book!
I’m having all kind of things run thru my head. Maybe we wouldn’t have so much Alzheimer’s if people were using their brains the way we were born too. There’s nothing that will create insanity more than trying to force a mind to work a certain way other than it was meant too. Trim out that round peg hole with its tattered corners and make your own square peg fit YOU. We need a charter school so we can let students create their own destinies. Free thinker, free creator, free to be. No wonder we have so many people having mental problems. Wow!!! Too much going thru my head.

[]Love, love your book! It got me to thinking about my experiences in school and Scotty’s thus far. I have always admired your fabulosity and when I’m in new situations that take me out of my comfort zone, I always say, “what would Patricia do” and then I get in my Patricia mode and just do it. Your book has given me hope about my boy. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and possible learning disabilities with reading, writing and executive function. I am up for the challenge because I know now to focus on his strengths and to help him see his “differences” makes him even more special to me and to the lives he will touch.

]Patricia, Loved the book. Very positive and accurate approach to ADHDers and their friends and family.
HR and other managers should read and UNDERSTAND the positiveness of right-brained visionaries.

[]Dr Lloyd: as the father of an ADHD daughter and husband to one, I am reminded of how much I treasure their “traits”! Thank you for putting a vocabulary to how you “crazy people” should be viewed – with positivity, patience and love. Reframing the negatives of ADHD is an incredibly important work; thank you for doing it!!

[]I really enjoyed reading ADHD Reframed! It was very well written and in a style that kept the readers attention, especially your use of humor! It certainly changed how I viewed ADHD and caused me to rethink the whole thought process. When I used to teach, I tried to develop their ability to think abstractly to solve problems. With later teens, some could but some could not. I tried to get them away from relying on memorization. Later, as a research scientist, I valued the ability to “think outside the box”. Reading your book helps frame the thought process and realize the value of both forms of reasoning (inductive/deductive) in developing hypotheses. So, your book has value to all of us, not just those with ADHD. I can imagine the value of changing one’s perception of ADHD and giving them an avenue to explore ways to utilize their talents best.

[]I used a half a pad of sticky notes leaving places that I would like to revisit to find books and links that you recommended. Your book came to me at a good time. A friend’s young adult child is having a terrible time finding a job that works for him. I will certainly recommend that he buy your book and also read Driven to Distraction by Edward Hallowell. The link to testing sites and Ability Profiler at ONET will certainly be helpful to them. While I appreciate the renaming of these traits as assets instead of liabilities, it is unfortunate that our school system doesn’t offer this when the ADHD tag is hung on a child. Most are shuffled along and get out of school without the ability to read and comprehend. There are lots of small helps that can turn a struggler into a success. They just need to be applied at an early age to provide that boost of morale.
