About the Film
ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed-and widely misunderstood-neurological conditions in the world today, affecting nearly 10% of kids and a rising number of adults. But what if having an ADHD brain is actually an asset? A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists have gone public about their diagnosis, saying that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success.
“The Disruptors” takes an immersive look at ADHD that debunks the most harmful myths, intimately takes viewers inside a number of families as they navigate the challenges, and the surprising triumphs, of living with ADHD and, examines the flip side of this trait that ultimately offers a revelatory understanding of the diagnosis, and real hope for millions of kids, families and adults with ADHD.
“ADHD is simultaneously a major public health issue as well as one of the most powerful engines of creativity and innovation for the world.”
