Dr. Dodson Quotes

Dr. William Dodson

ADHD Servant Leader

"Most people get either poorly treated and/or humiliated by the process that less than 25% of people who are seen by a clinician are still involved in any treatment at the end of one year. The only thing that will change this will be a very public malpractice suit for negligent care (or, more likely, no care at all) that will jolt docs out of their complacency."

"Dr. Russel Barkley cannot be blamed for coining the term emotional dysregulation (ED)

Dr. Dodson Quotes

Dr. William Dodson

ADHD Servant Leader

"A child’s worst fears are that they are unlovable (because they are broken in some way) and they are going to be abandoned with a problem they cannot fix, no matter how hard they try. If a child knows that you see the potential for greatness in them, they will walk through Hell for you to deliver that greatness.

"In 2019, the European Network Adult ADHD issued a Consensus Guideline that set forth adult ADHD diagnostic criteria for the very 1st time. The really big change was that the EU finally added emotions to the behavioral features that had constituted the diagnostic criteria up to that time. It should be noted that the US organization that prevented adult criteria more than any other (ABSARD) for 20 years was headed by Dr. Barkley."

"Some in my profession view people who have an ADHD style nervous system as being Neurotypical people who are damaged or deficient (without any apparent awareness of how hostile that attitude is)."

ADHD and Trauma: Star Trek has always been a safe place for the neurodivergent.
For decades, clinicians, especially those working with ASD and ADHD, have screamed for at least some acknowledgment of how unresolved childhood trauma impacts behavior in adulthood.
