Before getting into the main lessons of the Understanding Your ADHD Brain course, you were asked to take the ADHD Myth Busting Quiz.
This quiz is there for one simple reason:
A lot of what people believe about ADHD is wrong.
Not because theyโre stupid. Not because theyโre trying to be unhelpful. But because ADHD has been misunderstood for years by schools, workplaces, families, social media, and sometimes even by people with ADHD themselves.
And those myths matter.
Because if you believe ADHD is just laziness, youโll keep trying to shame yourself into action.
If you believe ADHD is only about focus, youโll miss the emotional regulation, time blindness, impulsivity, working memory, and executive function pieces.
If you believe ADHD only looks one way, you might dismiss your own experience completely.
So this quiz is here to help clear the fog before we go deeper.
Your turn ๐ฌ
Once youโve taken the quiz, comment below and answer:
What score did you get, and which answer surprised you most?
You could share:
- the myth you were most confident about
- the one that caught you out
- something you used to believe about ADHD
- something youโre starting to see differently already
Example:
I got 7/10. The one that surprised me most was the hyperfocus question because I always thought being able to focus for hours meant I couldnโt really have ADHD.
No shame if you got a few wrong.
Thatโs literally why this is here.
The goal isnโt a perfect score.
The goal is to start questioning the old beliefs that may have kept you stuck, ashamed, or confused about your brain.
And if someone else mentions a myth you used to believe too, reply to them. Youโll earn points, and youโll probably help them feel a lot less alone.
