S2 EP 5 - ADHD Goes Back to School: Take on Me

Middle School Mary Poppins

Welcome back to the chaos and charm of back-to-school season! In this episode, therapist and former middle school teacher Suzanne M. Swain (EDS, LMSW) dives into one of her most requested topics—ADHD. Suzanne flips the script on the usual narrative, showing why ADHD isn’t a deficit but a secret superpower packed with bravery, creativity, and genius.

From hilarious back-to-school night stories to clever tips on organization and coping strategies, she shares how students (and adults) with ADHD can thrive. You’ll also hear about the three types of ADHD she encounters in her practice, her concept of the “flitter” response to anxiety, and why acceptance and compassion therapy can turn challenges into teachable moments.

Oh, and did we mention she met Tupac (well, kind of) and discovered she might actually be part alien? Yeah, this episode’s got it all—insight, humor, and a little extraterrestrial twist.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or clever little fox navigating life with ADHD, this one’s for you. Tune in and get ready to see ADHD through a whole new lens!
