A Note From ADDA’s President<\/span><\/p>

Hello ! My name is Duane Gordon. I\u2019m an adult with ADHD, and the President of the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA). I want you to join me online for the ICONnect 2026 (the online International Conference on ADHD).<\/p>

My first ADHD conference changed my life… and it can change your life too.<\/p>

You Know the Struggle<\/strong><\/h4>

As an adult with ADHD, you know the symptoms. You\u2019re inattentive and distractible. You have trouble starting tasks, lack follow through and procrastinate. You struggle to control your emotions and you can’t get organized.<\/p>

You Know What It’s Costing You (and Your Family)<\/h4>

You know the consequences of adult ADHD all too well\u2026 poor job performance, marital difficulties, financial struggles, emotional volatility, and more (so much more).<\/p>

But the Worst Thing? You’re Alone<\/h4>

The worst thing about adult ADHD is going through it alone. You struggle daily\u2026 sometimes you win, more often you suffer setbacks\u2026 but always, you do it alone.<\/p>

How do you deal with adult ADHD? Search Google, check out social media or ask your doctor? That leaves you lost or feeling broken.<\/p>

But do nothing and your life slips away. Your dreams crumble. You feel shame and you lose confidence.<\/p>

Logic Doesn’t Cure Loneliness<\/h4>

Your loneliness, and desperation, grows. No one gets you unless they also have adult ADHD. You know others face similar challenges. It’s logical. But\u2026 logic doesn\u2019t cure loneliness.<\/p>

What Changed My Life<\/h4>

I went to my first ADHD Conference in 2005 in Tucson, Arizona. I went with Linda, my wife\u2026 I never would have attended alone. Like many of you, I learned of my ADHD as an adult. My daughter’s diagnosis happened when she started school and mine followed as we learned about ADHD.<\/p>

Relief… and Shame<\/h4>

I felt relief knowing there was a reason for my struggles, but I hid my ADHD out of shame. I\u2019d heard about the Conference, but I wasn\u2019t sure\u2026 to be honest, I was afraid\u2026<\/p>

Go to the Conference. It\u2019ll Change Your Life<\/h4>

Then a good friend, another adult with ADHD, said, \u201cDuane, go to the Conference. It\u2019ll change your life”. She was right. Attending that first Conference was life changing.<\/p>

I Wasn’t Alone<\/h4>

Surrounded by hundreds of fellow adults with ADHD, I realized I was not alone. I soaked up more information in three days than I\u2019d learned in months, even years, before the Conference\u2026 That was the first step in a transformation that continues today. I was shy, anxious and lonely. Today, I\u2019m ADDA\u2019s president.<\/p>

Come On Home<\/h4>

There\u2019s more to the story, but I\u2019ll save that for another day. Every journey starts with a single step. For you, as it was for me, attending this Conference might be that step. Finally, I was \u201chome.\u201d These were my people. They get me. Here was a place I could be myself.<\/p>

Linda and I were sitting in the audience as Sari Solden wrapped up her famous \u201cSheep Shame\u201d keynote. I turned to Linda and said, \u201cFrom now on, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what it costs, we\u2019ll be at this ADHD Conference.\u201d Linda agreed. And as Robert Frost would say, \u201cThat has made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>

And now, you have the opportunity to attend the conference online. More affordable. No travel. Easy logistics. Don’t miss this opportunity<\/p>

See you online in February!<\/p>

To your success,<\/p>

Duane<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Finally, It\u2019s Your Turn<\/h2>

You have a choice to make: Do what you\u2019ve been doing (or worse, do nothing at all). You know where that will lead. Is that where you want to go? Take a new action, and get a new result.<\/p>

Attend the Conference<\/h4>

You are at the mercy of your ADHD. Until you take charge of your adult ADHD, you can\u2019t take control of your life. Stop stumbling around in the dark. Attend to the Conference. If there’s any way you can afford to come, come. The conference is online, so it doesn’t matter where you live, if you can swing it, do yourself a favor. Come to the Conference.<\/p>

Come learn about the latest ADHD treatments, advances and research shine a light and guide your path. And you won\u2019t be alone. Connect with leaders, top professionals and organizations in the ADHD field. And connect with hundreds of adults with ADHD like you. Which do you really want for yourself?<\/p>

Here\u2019s what to do now…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>
