Karen O’Donnell, A Mind Like Mine (And, Possibly, Yours!), Part I
Author Zoë Kessler and Filmmaker, Karen O'Donnell
Treat yourself to a copy of A Mind Like Mine for Christmas!
Just in time for Christmas, I’ve discovered a fantastic new documentary on adult ADHD, called A Mind Like Mine. You might find it’s a bit like yours, too. I did.
Toronto, Ontario-based Producer/Director/Writer Karen O’Donnell has produced two ADHD-focused films to date, the first, Odd Kid Out, in 2002, and the second, A Mind Like Mine, which was released in 2009 and has aired internationally.
O’Donnell is a fount of knowledge and experience. She’s also a fierce advocate on behalf of not only her own son, Kail, (diagnosed with ADD since age 7), but for everyone who struggles with ADHD.
Her film, A Mind Like Mine, is compelling, touching, dramatic and informative, as she documents the lives of ADHDers and skilfully weaves interviews with various professionals throughout the story. You’ll learn a ton about adult ADHD while being entertained. I highly recommend this film for ADHD adults and young adults, and those who care about them.
