Salif Mahamane, a doctoral student at Utah State University, opens up his presentation by shouting commands and asking questions that most individuals with ADHD have heard once or twice or a thousand times in their lifetime. "Pay attention!" "What are you thinking?!" "Do you even think?" He shouts at the crowd. He instantly captures the attention of his audience with these cutting remarks, and then proceeds to mix his personal anecdotes about living with the disorder with scientific evidence to both inform his audience members and get them to see that people with the disorder are not dumb-in fact, they are extremely intelligent beings, and how their involuntary attention actually makes you a "hunter-gatherer badass".
