Angelina Boerger
A carnival in her head

When Angelina Boerger was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of almost 30, her "otherness" suddenly made sense. In her talk, she gives a personal, humorous, and brutally honest account of what ADHD means in everyday life: between creative highs, sensory overload, and exhaustion.

She shows the strengths inherent in neurodivergent thinking when they are recognized and supported: focus in enthusiasm, extraordinary ideas, empathy, and unconventional problem solving. At the same time, she does not hide the downsides: prejudice, stigmatization, and discrimination, which can lead to a long period of suffering, misdiagnosis, and serious health consequences.

Angelina Boerger invites us to view neurological differences such as ADHD and autism not as "wrong" or "broken," but as natural variations in human diversity.
