Hi, I’m Michael Thomas Kincella, and I’m the new co-author of Living with Adult ADHD. I’m a freelance writer living and working in Glasgow, originally from Ireland. More importantly, I’m a freelance writer living and working in Glasgow dealing with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), diagnosed a few years ago at the ripe old age of 32.
Michael Thomas Kincella Lives with Adult ADHD Without Knowing It
Until the ADHD diagnosis, I struggled to get anything together. My ADHD symptoms like impulsivity, overthinking, underperforming, procrastination, poor time management, and high start-then-quit incidence rates are – I hope you agree – ingredients for disaster, not, say, a burgeoning career in freelance writing.
If you’re like me, you understand the internal conflicts and general frustration that goes hand in hand with ADHD. You wonder if you’re just lazy.
“Well, if I’m lazy,” you might say to yourself, “why can’t I sit in this chair? Isn’t sitting down among the laziest activities there is? How do I reconcile the desire to get things done with the inability to sit down for more than ten minutes straight and perform a task?”
As you probably know, sitting down and staying put isn’t easy at all if you have adult ADHD.
Michael Thomas Kincella’s Goals for the ‘Living with Adult ADHD’ Blog
For more on Michael Thomas Kincella and his goals for the Living with Adult ADHD blog, watch this:
Over the course of this blog, I’ll tell you how I learned to stay put. I’ll show you how I got things together. And I’ll take moments of personal anguish dealing with ADHD and present them for you here in real stories: as camaraderie for the diagnosed among you and as a bat signal to help the undiagnosed check if my experiences line up with your own experiences. In any event, the goal of the Living with Adult ADHD blog is primarily to help.
