Episode Description from the Publisher

Are people with ADHD especially sensitive to questions of right and wrong? Many individuals with ADHD seem to have a strong sense of fairness, justice, and personal values—but where does that sensitivity come from? Is it rooted in difficult childhood experiences, emotional setbacks, executive function challenges, or a deeply held commitment to principles? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD expert Dr. Ari Tuckman (https://drarituckman.com) joins cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com/) for an insightful conversation about why issues of right and wrong can carry such emotional weight for those with ADHD. Together, we explore how these sensitivities can influence relationships, decision-making, conflict, and even reactions to today's political and social climate. If you've ever found yourself deeply affected by questions of fairness, justice, or moral principles, this thought-provoking episode offers valuable perspective and is one you won't want to miss.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.
