Drawing from his personal experiences, Dr. Pearlman shares insights on how ADHD has shaped his life and how others can learn to embrace their unique neurological wiring. “Growing up, I was labeled as a hyperactive, distracted kid with ants in his pants,” says Dr. Pearlman. “What people saw as ‘disruptive’ behavior was actually my brain working differently. I didn’t understand it at the time, but ADHD wasn’t a curse—it was a different way of seeing and interacting with the world. That’s what inspired me to write this book.”

He reframes ADHD as a strength, offering actionable steps for managing executive function challenges while thriving with a brain that operates in extraordinary ways.

These traits have allowed me to achieve things I never thought possible, and I want others to see that they too have superpowers that can be used to their advantage." The book is filled with personal stories, insights, and tools that readers can use to shift their perspectives and embrace ADHD as a powerful ally.
