Posted: September 3, 2025

Updated: September 3, 2025

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast – A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Superpowers – A Paramedic’s Rescue Mission with Skylar Duran. This podcast is an audio companion to the book “The Drummer and the Great Mountain – A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD.”

In this episode, we’re joined by Skylar Duran, a paramedic firefighter and technical rescue team member for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

This extraordinary interview highlights how our ADHD traits, often experienced merely as challenges, can become life-saving superpowers.

Skylar recounts his harrowing and remarkable rescue mission during San Diego’s recent flooding events, describing how his ADHD “wiring” may have contributed to his ability to perform during a very stressful situation. 

He’ll also discuss what it was like growing up with ADHD, his experience with learning a musical instrument, and what’s been most helpful from the tips and practices we discuss on this podcast.
