Why ADHD Doesn’t Define Our Children with Roman Wyden

In this episode of Life Stories, I sit down with Roman Wyden, filmmaker, podcaster, and author of ADHD Is Over. Roman shares the deeply personal story of his son’s ADHD diagnosis and what it’s taught him about labels, learning differences, and how we can better support kids both at home and in school.

What began as a confusing and frustrating diagnosis turned into a mission: to help parents and educators understand the difference between the very real struggles children face and the labels we place on them. Roman now uses his voice, book, and podcast to challenge assumptions about ADHD and to bring fresh insight into how kids learn, think, and thrive.

We discuss:

*Roman’s journey through his son’s ADHD diagnosis.
*Why “the struggle is real, but the label is not.”
*The impact of labels on children in the school system.
*How parents can advocate for their kids without shame or fear.
*Why teachers play such a crucial role in reframing ADHD.


This conversation will encourage parents, educators, and anyone who loves a child to see ADHD in a new light—focusing on understanding and support, not just a diagnosis.
