As they say, there are two sides to each coin. In the book, The Dyslexic Advantage, authors Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide deconstruct reasoning as they see it related to how the dyslexic mind processes information. Using their construct in the book as the means to understand how the dyslexic mind works, they address each form of reasoning as if it were a coin. The book offers practical insight on the challenges and then does the same by looking at advantages of the dyslexic mind related to each type of reasoning. In this episode, host Jeff Copper interviews Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide on their book. In the interview they discuss ADHD, how ADHD and dyslexia overlap, and how the practical advantages outlined in the book might be extremely useful for those diagnosed with or impacted by ADHD.

Once upon a time, ADD coach Linda Roggli (aka the ADDiva) had trouble remembering the names and interaction of those pesky ADHD neurotransmitters, which made it difficult to explain brain wiring to her clients. So she set out to simplify this exceedingly complex topic and voila! She made friends with three amazing neurotransmitter stand-ins: Nora Penne Effrin (aka norepinephrine), Sarah Tonin (aka serotonin), and Dope A. Mean (aka dopamine). These three low-voltage characters made life much easier for both Linda and her clients, and they might help you understand (and pronounce) these bad boys, too.
