This Week’s Questions:

Jess, when did you suspect you might have ADHD? Looking back, what were your childhood signs? How can ADHD be a superpower? What strategies have you learned that can help us all?

SOUL Group Questions:

Ask each other these questions to build a stronger connection with a friend or in your Soul Group.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a neurodevelopmental condition defined by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity starting in childhood. ADHD affects daily function in all aspects of life – home, school, work – because it impacts executive functions such as focus, organization, and impulse control.

1. Laura and Jess discussed the damaging effects of labels or diagnoses we and others place upon us. These words spoken over us can categorize us or put us in what feels like a “cage”. Share a time when you felt locked in a “cage” based on a label.

2. Jess was vulnerable and shared how being diagnosed with ADHD felt like seeing the puzzle box cover, not just random pieces scattered on the table. When have your eyes been opened to a new reality that finally put the pieces of your life together?

3. When was the last time you reached out and asked someone for help with something you’re struggling with? What did you glean from this help? What did you learn from yourself?

4. What are you currently puzzling about that you need God or others to help you with? What could you pray for? Who might be a few steps ahead of you that could help? What’s your first step towards clarity and greater understanding?
