The Disruptors
Nearly ten percent of children and an increasing number of adults are affected by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is one of the neurological illnesses that is most routinely diagnosed but also one of the most widely misunderstood conditions in the world today. 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 up about their ADHD diagnosis and claiming that the condition's good management was a critical factor in their achievements. In The Disruptors, we hear from a number of those game-changing personalities speaking openly about their ADHD, and the documentary also takes viewers on an intimate journey inside the homes of a number of families as they navigate the obstacles and unexpected successes of living with ADHD. The Disruptors takes an in-depth look at how we treat ADHD, dispelling some of the more harmful myths associated with the condition. It also 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.
