Unpacking ADHD with Don Baker

Unpacking ADHD with Don Baker Learn to work with your ADHD wiring, not against it. We know that these tools are often "life savers" for many of those living with the traits of ADHD.

A positive, strength-focused approach to adult ADHD

We are building a community of people who understand that adult ADHD is a paradox. The same person who has great difficulty keeping track of their keys, paying attention to a conversation, or meeting deadlines may also be remarkably empathetic, intuitive, and creative. Seeing the full picture of ADHD opens up a whole new realm of possibilities

for learning, growing, and creating the life you desire. UnpackingADHD.com does not advocate for the abandonment of traditional diagnostic or treatment tools, such as stimulant medications and cognitive behavioral therapy. However, we also know that people with ADHD traits are not broken or disabled. They’re just wired differently. With knowledge and support to understand how your brain really works, you can see a path and feel hope, possibly for the first time. UnpackingADHD.com was founded by Don Baker, a licensed counselor who was diagnosed with ADHD in 1997. Don has been leading groups and creating workshops for adults with ADHD (and those who love them) for more than 25 years.

It’s not just drugs or alcohol — many of us reach for caffeine, sugar, social media, or even “pseudoproductivity” to cope with ADHD frustrations. These quick fixes give brief relief, but they often cost us focus, energy, and mental clarity in the long run.

In this blog, I break down why ADHD brains crave these mini dopamine hits — and share healthier ways to get the same boost without the ""crash"" and burnout. 🌟

The ADHD mind is a vast and unorganized library. It contains masses of information in snippets, but not whole books. The information exists in many forms — as articles, videos, audio clips, Internet pages — and also in forms and thoughts that no one has ever had before. But there is no card catalog, and the “books” are not organized by subject or even alphabetized.

Women and girls with ADHD were overlooked for decades, misdiagnosed, or told to “just try harder.” Women researchers, clinicians, advocates, and lived-experience leaders helped change that narrative. Because of their work, we now understand how ADHD presents differently in women—how masking, late diagnosis, hormonal shifts, and life transitions shape the experience.

This Women’s History Month, CHADD is proud celebrate the women across the many fields of ADHD research and experience who advanced our understanding and treatment options.
