Attention Different with Stephen Tonti & Aaron Smith

This week, I'm talking with Stephen Tonti and Aaron Smith, co-founders of the ADHD edutainment platform Attention Different. It's a podcast and resource hub for ADHD adults looking for support, humor, and, most importantly, strategies that actually work.

I got to know Stephen and Aaron at the 2024 ADHD Conference in Anaheim. Stephen's a filmmaker and longtime ADHD advocate who's been trying to reframe ADHD as a difference, not a disorder. Aaron's a licensed therapist and ADHD coach, helping clients bridge the gap between clinical understanding and real-world functionality.

In this episode, we dig into the messy middle of adulting with ADHD. We explore why the strategies that worked before suddenly stop working, the emotional aftermath of small mistakes, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just… breathe.

I had a lot of fun with this one, it's a grounded, funny, and deeply practical conversation about living with ADHD, without trying to fix it into something it's not.

This Episode's Top Tips

1. You don't need to finish all the dishes to feel like you've succeeded. Sometimes, doing just part of the task can be good enough, and good enough is a win.

2. We're not always going to have high-capacity days, so work on shifting your mindset from "What can't I do?" to "What can I do with the energy I have?" Reframing these thoughts can help manage low-capacity days with less shame.

3. In conflict, slow down. Shut up, breathe, listen, ask questions. This sequence can help de-escalate emotional tension, create space for connection, and avoid falling into defensiveness.
