ADHD Month Meets Halloween: ‘Promising Young Man’ Honors Authenticity Alongside ADHDers’ Favorite Holiday
It’s October, which means two things: ADHD Awareness Month and Halloween—a holiday beloved by ADHDers for its perfect storm of creativity, imagination, and a temporary reprieve from social masking.
Just as Halloween celebrates fun, creativity, and embracing what makes us different, ADHD Awareness Month invites us to recognize and honor those living with the beautiful, messy, exhilarating reality of ADHD.
My hope with "Promising Young Man" is to do both while tapping into something even bigger: the universal teenage experience of searching for purpose, wrestling with self-doubt, and learning to live authentically.
It's a story that reminds us that whether dealing with ADHD or simply navigating the chaos of growing up (or getting older), the path to self-discovery is rarely straight—and always worth taking.
