Focusing on Higher Ground
Reaching the Summit With ADHD
By Teri Brown
Fisher has advice for others who struggle with ADHD. "Discover what your passions are because when you are enjoying what you are doing or working toward something you are excited about, you will be able to focus on that goal," she says. Besides climbing, Fisher enjoys playing the piano, hanging out with friends and doing the things most people her age enjoy. She also loves reading and spending time with her family, though she admits she hasn't had a lot of time for things unrelated to climbing lately.
"My days are spent exercising, working on my Web site and my slide show, getting interviewed, meeting with my sponsors, etc.," says Fisher. "It's like having a job, only I'm working from the moment I wake up in the morning to when I go to bed at night. This, not the climbing, has been my biggest accomplishment in life. Being able to stay on task is not easy, and I do lose my focus every once in a while, but I've been getting what needs to be done, done. And I'm proud of that!"
