Songwriting advice from Mr Grohl... ...and fittingly, seeing that October is ADHD Awareness Month, David Grohl, who also recently revealed his childhood diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (#ADHD) as a way of explaining his poor academic performance and early exit from high school. The Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer, appeared on a video in July 2020 titled "In Defense of Our Teachers." where he talked openly about his childhood diagnosis. "I hate to break it to you, but I was a terrible student," Grohl says. "It was no fault of the Fairfax public school system, mind you; it did the best it could. I was just stubbornly disengaged, impeded by a raging case of ADD, and an insatiable desire to play music. Far from being a model student, I did my best to maintain focus but eventually left school half way through 11th grade to become a professional touring musician — not advised. I left behind countless missed opportunities." - www.additudemag.com #thenoisybrain #ITSOKAYTOTALK #community #team #adhd
