The Talking TradesmanIs construction full of people with ADHD… without even realising it? It’s something I’ve been thinking about more and more. For generations, if you didn’t thrive academically, sitting behind a desk or following the traditional education route, where did a lot of us end up? On the tools. An industry built around movement, problem-solving, creativity, working with your hands, constantly changing environments and seeing an immediate result from what you’ve achieved. All things that can suit an ADHD brain incredibly well. So is there actually a disproportionate number of people with ADHD working in construction — diagnosed or otherwise? And if there is, maybe we need to stop looking at ADHD purely through the lens of what people struggle with… and start looking at where those same brains thrive. This conversation came up during my episode with ADHD coach Sam Beresford, available now on all podcast platforms. What do you think — does this ring true in the trades? #ADHD #Construction #Neurodiversity #MentalHealth #TheTalkingTradesman
