The Disruptors
Nearly 10 percent of children and an increasing number of adults are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), making it one of the most often diagnosed neurological illnesses in the world today. However, the condition is generally misunderstood. But what if having a brain that is prone to ADHD is actually a benefit? A rising number of successful innovators, business owners, chief executive officers, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists are coming forth about their ADHD diagnosis and claiming that the condition's good management was a critical component in their achievements. In The Disruptors, we hear from a number of those game-changing people speaking openly about their ADHD, and the documentary takes viewers on an intimate journey inside the homes of a number of families as they navigate the obstacles, as well as the surprise victories, of living with ADHD. The Disruptors takes an in-depth look at how we currently approach ADHD, dispelling the most damaging myths along the way. It then investigates the flip side of this trait, which ultimately provides a revelatory understanding of the diagnosis as well as genuine hope for the millions of children, families, and adults who have ADHD.
