Adult ADHD In A Humorous Nutshell Card Deck

Greetings and Namaste!

I’m George Watts (that’s me over there in doodle form), a seasoned BWY Yoga teacher and the creator of the Online Yoga Lesson Planner and the Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2010 and have taught 800+ classes.

I created the 26 cards in the Adult ADHD In A Humorous Nutshell for myself (I have ADHD).

I also created them for a talk that I gave to a room filled with adults with ADHD. I wanted a playful way to explain ADHD to the audience. 

 

26 Humorous ADHD Analogies

 

Each card offers a humorous, relatable analogy perfectly capturing the whirlwind of thoughts, distractions, and quirks of living with ADHD. These cards will resonate and entertain whether you’re explaining your experiences to others or need a good chuckle.

Imagine your brain as a browser with 47 open tabs open or trying to herd cats. These playful descriptions not only provide a lighthearted way to discuss ADHD but also help break down barriers and foster empathy.

Perfect for ADHD support groups, educational settings, or just sharing with friends and family, this deck turns the challenges of ADHD into moments of connection and laughter.

Are you ready to embrace the humour in the everyday chaos?
