Film On ADHD To Screen At West Hartford Library

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A community film screening and discussion focused on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder will take place on Tuesday, March 24, at the Noah Webster Library, 20 S. Main St., West Hartford.

The event, scheduled from 6 to 7:45 p.m. in the library’s meeting room, will feature excerpts from the 2022 documentary film "The Disruptors," followed by a facilitated discussion hosted in partnership with the West Hartford Community of Concern.

Organizers describe ADHD as “one of the most commonly diagnosed—and widely misunderstood—neurological conditions,” affecting nearly 10 percent of children and a growing number of adults.

The film explores an alternative perspective, asking whether “having an ADHD brain is actually an asset.”

According to the program description, the documentary includes interviews with “innovators, entrepreneurs, CEOs, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists” who say their ADHD, when effectively managed, has contributed to their success.

It also follows families navigating both the challenges and “surprising triumphs” associated with the condition.

The event is open to adults and requires registration. Organizers said registration will close at the program’s start time.

Free parking is available at the Isham Garage for attendees. Library officials also noted that individuals requiring accommodations should contact the library at least two weeks in advance.
