About this listen

 Adventures in ADHD and ship salvage. A multi-generational story about a son’s ADHD, a grandfather’s ship salvage career, and a mother’s struggle to understand the challenges of each. Every episode contains one ship salvage job and explores the life lessons gleaned from those tales. The salvage jobs, as improbable as it may seem, became metaphors for understanding her son’s ADHD. Host Elizabeth Rynecki delves into this unlikely intersection over 6 episodes, talking to her son, her father and people whose lives have been touched by ADHD.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    The Betty L was a 420-foot barge built especially for a sewer project for the City of San Francisco’s Clean Water Project. Only a week after going into service she was grounded on the beach. My father’s proposed solution involved quick action. Which could have been wrong, but in the end saved the barge. This episode is about ADHD medication.
