Speaker Bio (200 words)
Braden Young is a Certified ADHD Life Coach and founder of Empower ADHD Solutions in Wenatchee, Washington. He runs the Wenatchee ADHD Support Group on Facebook and serves as facilitator for the Eastern Washington chapter of the Men's ADHD Support Group, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting men navigating ADHD and related neurodivergent conditions.
Diagnosed with ADHD at 36, Braden brings a perspective that blends art with analysis and creativity with science and technology. His purpose goes beyond personal fulfillment to educating people about ADHD, fighting stigma and misinformation, and changing how society views neurodiversity. He uses his words and actions to demonstrate the neurodivergent community's creativity and resourcefulness, advocating for the recognition that being different isn't just okay, it's a gift that can lead to extraordinary outcomes when harnessed.
Braden is a husband, father to a young son, and stepfather to an adult daughter. He co-hosts the DadDHD Podcast, where he and his co-host tackle the real challenges of neurodivergent fatherhood with evidence-based strategies and no-nonsense authenticity. His work centers on the belief that neurodivergent individuals deserve tools, community, and respect, not shame, and he builds everything he does around that principle.
