Ant Raje shares his journey of living with ADHD and deafness in one ear, exploring how they impact focus, communication, and identity. He challenges common misconceptions, reflects on the power of empathy, and shares why creating spaces where people feel seen and heard matters more than having all the answers.
• Living with both ADHD and hearing loss creates unique challenges as paying attention (needed for hearing) is complicated by ADHD-related focus issues
• Common misconceptions about ADHD include assuming someone isn't listening when they're doodling or not making eye contact
• People with ADHD and hearing disabilities can make excellent leaders due to their strong empathy and creative thinking abilities
• Clear written instructions benefit both people with disabilities and those from diverse cultural backgrounds
• Creating safe spaces where people feel seen and heard is often more important than solving problems for them
• Two simple ways to create a more accessible world: include disabled people in decision-making processes and practice basic kindness
