An enlightening documentary and conversation about ADHD with Steamboat Reading and Bud Werner Library
ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed-and widely misunderstood-neurological conditions in the world today, affecting nearly 10% of kids and a rising number of adults. But what if having an ADHD brain is actually an asset? A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists have recently disclosed that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success. The Disruptors hears from many of those game-changing people about their ADHD, and takes an immersive look at our approach to ADHD that debunks the most harmful myths, and intimately takes viewers inside a number of families as they navigate the challenges – and the surprising triumphs – of living with ADHD.
 
Steamboat Reading provides a community of support for struggling readers and their families. Many children who struggle with reading also deal with the challenges of ADHD. Community expert and therapist Sophie Berkley, LPC will join the Steamboat Reading team after the film to answer questions.
