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 they’re stupid. Not because they’re 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, you’ll keep trying to shame yourself into action.
If you believe ADHD is only about focus, you’ll 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 💬
Once you’ve 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 you’re 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 couldn’t really have ADHD.
No shame if you got a few wrong.
That’s literally why this is here.
The goal isn’t 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. You’ll earn points, and you’ll probably help them feel a lot less alone.
