Not only was this film gut wrenching and emotionally charging , but it was factual , honest and so informative of the "true scientific facts" of this challenging condition. This documentary not only revealed the challenges but also the positive advantages of having this neuro disorder. Seeing the struggles of the children in this film is so eye opening and my hope is that parents struggling with a child with this condition can now feel a little more compassion and understanding. I hope children who identify with this disorder , can feel a little more relief knowing that their struggles are real and feel more confident knowing and identifying their strengths and working with those. LOVE LOVE LOVE this documentary and hope it can be shown all over the world . We need this .
This documentary is the first all encompassing film about adhd. It's well done and presents the facts, not the myths about one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States.
This documentary was a God-send and helped our family immeasurably. We have spent so many years feeling alone and stigmatized about ADHD, and this film liberated us to know that we are not alone and that there is INDEED an upside to ADHD. It's time for society to embrace these creative kids and adults for their talents and high time for school administrators to help educate their teachers and staff on the truth of this diagnosis, so kids are not persecuted and punished for something that is neuro-genetic and neuro-developmental. This film is full of heart and finally reveals the truth about this diagnosis. I would recommend it to kids and parents alike. It's the film we've been waiting for, and it is being watched all over the world.
I wish the movie and even the trailer had less of the "ADHD has a lot of positives" or "ADHD can be a superpower"-type of commentary. It should be made clear that the featured celebrities are successful DESPITE having ADHD, not BECAUSE of it. Plus most of them are super intelligent or otherwise talented.
While the intention to highlight the positives of ADHD is understandable, it's important to maintain a realistic perspective. ADHD presents major challenges that many people struggle with daily, and these challenges should not be sugarcoated.
Success stories are inspiring, but they are NOT the norm for everyone with ADHD. More emphasis on realistic portrayals and the need for proper management and support could make the documentary more relatable and informative.

This film is a passionate, thoughtful, and emotional look into the lives of children and adults who suffer from ADHD. As a person who has this disorder, I felt so seen and understood after having watched this movie. It is so well edited and informational, those who were interviewed did a fantastic job of helping dispel age old rumors about ADHD. The film was also very touching, as the children who were highlighted all had very engaging and emotional stories. I was brought to tears several times watching this, this is an absolutely incredible documentary!
