Adva Shaviv, PhD, ADHD, :-D So much for titles!

Living with ADHD can be a magical wonderland; sometimes charming, sometimes dark. This is the inspiration for the ADHD fantasy I write. My late diagnosis shed a new understanding over my lifelong something-is-wrongness: I’m not flawed; I’m different. I fail to perform the obvious, but shine in the unique. While others smoothly move from A to B, I lose my way, but get to M, A, G, I and C instead. My fantasy world draws from my own quirky mind, which could not have existed without ADHD. You can glimpse it in my free story, Distracted Magic – click here to read it! Over the years, alongside completing my PhD in philosophy, I have taught young and old, graduates and undergraduates, gifted and 2e (gifted/ADHD), in the academy and outside it, before finally seizing the best of opportunities: homeschooling my own three kids. We experimented together with creative ways to learn, teach, and do anything else in our own way. I share some of these ideas in The Magic Key – click for my blog on creative parenting and homeschooling. By now, my kids are all but grown up. Even so, it’s not easy writing a book with ADHD, not to mention building my indie author business, while still busy with homeschooling, two dogs, two cats, and laundry. Wish to let me know there’s someone who enjoyed my story, and awaits my novel? You’re a click away from messaging me into crazy hyperfocus! Love to hear from you and thanks for stopping by, Adva

ADHD fantasy. I dare you to lose focus.
