My Interview with CBC Radio Early Edition

The last two weeks have moved at a crazy speed for me.  Since launching my 30-day fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, I’ve been featured in the Langley Times newspaper,  and presented my website on stage to thousands of people at the World Domination Summit (read my blog about it here). #WDS2015

CBC Radio Interview – Yeah!

Just last week, I was interviewed by the CBC radio. This is big! In case you missed it, click the triangle icon below to Play:

 

Thanks guys for all your support, this website is starting to reach people who don’t even know anything about #ADHD — with any luck and a whole lot of effort, we can change the way they look at kids with #ADHD for the better.  

Please Click Here to Support ADHDKidsRock on Kickstarter today!

Can you help me spread the message to kids with #ADHD?  — tell them they are not alone, tell them they can succeed, and help others see how amazing they are.

If only half of the people who have liked my Facebook page donated $5.00 I would reach my Kickstarter goal and be able to keep my site going.  I actually don’t have a job yet so without your help I’m not sure how else I can do this?    Please click here to support ADHDKidsRock on #Kickstarter.  Doing it today would be awesome – there are only 16 days to go!

Tweet this if you want to get some extra support for us on Twitter:

Thanks for your help!

p.s. Hey and send me YOUR story and I will post it on my blog so that you too can make things better for other kids. Click here to check out MacKenzie’s story — she’s a blog reader, too.

[content-block title="Meet Jeff Rasmussen" color="orange"] Age: 18 City: Langley, BC Diagnosed with ADHD in Grade 7 Biggest Dream: I want to change the world for younger kids like me who are punished daily for having ADHD. Fave Class: Mechanics "I've got the plans in my head for a motorized scooter with a gas-powered engine that I'm actually capable of building." ADHD Superpower: "If I'm determined to do something, literally nothing can stop me. Nothing. Not bribes, not bullets... nothing." Fave Food: Hashbrowns (the kind you buy frozen, in a bag) Career Goals: Telecommunications Guru Life-Changing Event: Winning the WDS Scholarship for Real Life School Achievement: Completing Math & Socials 10 in just 8 weeks this summer. "School's like 99% fluff. Summer school is that, minus the fluff." Biggest Struggle: Even though I take medication I still have trouble staying on task, doing boring homework, remembering not to swear when I am angry or staying still through assemblies. (That's where some of my strategies come in.) [/content-block] [content-block title="An Average Kid with ADHD" color="purple"] My ADHD has been really bad and given me every bad experience you can imagine for a kid. Before medication teachers took away my recess, my gym classes, they put me in the hall, I have been suspended from school, and I never did my work because even though my tests say I’m “gifted” I couldn’t do it. When I first learned I had ADHD I was so happy that I wasn’t bad or broken, it had a name and an explanation for what was going on. [/content-block]
