Book excerpt: Stirring My Soul to Sing: Overcoming ADHD Through Song shares the personal events of W. Ian Walker’s life as an arts consultant, musician, “singer-actor,” chorister, and music director. His life story is one of faith and arts awareness in overcoming many obstacles associated with attention deficit hyper-activity disorder—ADHD. Behind the lyrics, melodies, and ovations, Ian experienced verbal abuse, school bullying, poor academic standing, employment instability, financial hardship, and divorce. Offering insight into an “artistic life” as an alternative to medication, Ian shares very personal details of the joys and sorrows of adapting to this disorder.
