Shortly after my own diagnosis, I began researching Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I was determined to not let any “disorder” ruin my life or hold me back. I quickly realized that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was far from a disability. In fact, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), when managed well, is a gift. Canadian Comedian Patrick McKenna produced a documentary that highlights Attention Deficity Hyperactivity Disorder’s (ADHD) potential.
A.D.D & Loving It is not the normal Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) documentary. A.D.D & Loving It does not show how people with ADHD should be on disability. A.D.D & Loving It does not provide unsubstantiated supposition about how ADHD is over diagnosed. A.D.D & Loving It does provide an hones look at life with ADHD, from a person who is living, and succeeding, with it everyday. Patrick McKenna stated, “Everything you think you know about A.D.D. is wrong.” (A.D.D & Loving It, 2009)
Patrick stresses that an ADHD diagnosis is not a death sentence. Many people with ADHD are succeeding. In fact, such famous people as Will Smith, Ty Pennington, Bill Gates, and Sir Richard Branson are living and thriving with ADHD. Patrick McKenna stated, “When A.D.D. is diagnosed and treated, life can become very sweet. A liability can become an asset. As one expert explains, “This is not a diagnosis to fear. This is a diagnosis to understand and embrace.” (A.D.D & Loving It, 2009)
A.D.D & Loving It is finding love among prestigous doctors. Dr. Kenny Handelman stated, “This documentary contains great scientific information, with interviews with many great ADD/ADHD experts and authors. The host also shares many of his personal experiences. Sharing this information with a good sense of humor, as well as great science behind it leads to a wonderful explanation of what ADD/ADHD is and how to live well with it.” (ADD and Loving It, 2009)
