Comics tell a story in shortform. They can tell us about ourselves and others, about the world and life. Comics, especially one-panel comics, are so brief that the message in them must be a distillation. When you are the creator of the comic, there is a lot of contemplation on what that distillation must be if your intended story will be effectively told.

​

This is what it’s like when we begin to learn about our or other’s ADHD. There’s a lot of story there to tell, but deeper understanding comes from distillation—really seeing, knowing, learning about, learning from, and ultimately accepting.

Humor is a bountiful gift. It lifts us up. It teaches. It helps us to continue. It says, keep it in perspective. It can be a foundational tool for self-acceptance and acceptance of others. This is why I decided to create this class. I deeply wish to show folks how it can be when we “keep it in perspective.” I think facilitating discussion around our challenges visa vie the comics we create might just be a joyful, poignant, and memorable opening to something better.

This is my intention, my wish, and my dream for you and for all of us with ADHD.
