ADHD – Thinking, Hearing, Seeing Differently
An evening with Arno Backhaus
ADHD – three letters that sound like a disturbance to many. For Arno Backhaus, they represent a creative asset. He likes to say:
“Even you have strengths – ADHD!” And if someone can credibly claim that, it’s him: Arno Backhaus is himself a “certified ADHDer,” as he winks.
What can you expect? No dry professional seminar, no medical jargon – but rather a lively, down-to-earth, and humorous insight into the adventure of ADHD. Arno takes those affected, their relatives, and curious professionals on a journey full of Aha moments and liberating laughter.
He knows what he’s talking about. He likes to express it this way: “I was held back three times, expelled from school four times – I was basically a frequent flyer without bonus miles.” Conflicts with parents, neighbors, teachers, and the police were part of his daily life. It was only at 45 that he realized that perhaps more lay behind his chaos than just… chaos.
Together with his wife and pediatrician Dr. Just Lauer, he wrote the book “Oh dear! AD(H)D – From Chaos Child to Life Artist” – an honest, humorous, and hopeful work. Dr. Johannes Streif from the specialist magazine ADHS Deutschland e.V. calls it: “A personally touching and exemplary account in many details of a life with ADHD.”
Arno and his wife have been dealing with the subject for over 30 years. In 1989, their then four-year-old son was diagnosed with high-intensity ADHD – a little whirlwind who turned kindergarten and school into adventure landscapes daily.
Today, Arno travels through schools, kindergartens, and churches across the country. With his blend of humor, experience, and heartfelt honesty, he demonstrates ways to live with ADHD, cope with it – and sometimes even celebrate it. After the lecture, he takes time for questions.

Who is Arno Backhaus?
Lives in Calden near Kassel
Married, 3 children, 9 grandchildren
Self-employed for 50 years as a musician, bestselling author, performance artist, and speaker
Awarded by Hessischer Rundfunk – 1st place in the category “Hessen Jokes”
Or as he himself says:
“I am not an expert in the classical sense – rather an experienced survivor.”

Bär und Eichhörnchen kennen sich gut. Bär weiß von Eichhörnchen, wo es seine Schätze versteckt hat und welche Musik es nicht mag. Eichhörnchen kennt das Lieblingsversteck von Bär und seinen Aufweck-Trick. Die beiden machen fast alles gemeinsam, obwohl sie so unterschiedlich sind. Das geht lange gut, bis da ein Knacks ist. Danach Streit und Stille. Eichhörnchen ist weg und Bär ist allein. Aber ohne einander geht es doch nicht, oder?
Ein Stück über die Herausforderungen des Zusammen- oder Alleinseins, das Glück von Freundschaft und davon, dass Unterschiede kein Hindernis sein müssen.

The bear and the squirrel know each other well. The bear knows where the squirrel has hidden his treasures and what music he doesn’t like. The squirrel knows the favorite hiding place of the bear and his wakeup trick as well. The two of them do almost everything together, even though they are so different. That works until there is a problem. Afterward there is conflict and silence. The squirrel has gone away and the bear is all alone. But things are impossible if they aren’t together, aren’t they?
A piece about the challenges of being together or being alone, the happiness of friendship and about the fact that differences do not have to be obstacles.

With "IF NOT WHEN THEN NOW", Rolf Miller will undoubtedly once again achieve the following: elegantly sidestepping the elephant in the room. Because that is his character: stubborn as a bag of cement - which can only be allowed thanks to his humor. Magnificently ignorant, vitally blunt, and completely half-knowledgeable. As always, the comedian stoically plays the rock in the surf, confidently looking away, speaking grandiosely about important topics while guaranteeing nothing; of course, he notices everything but his own failure. The more everything around him falls apart, the more we can't believe how this cockerel doesn't realize what's going on. "He simply doesn't notice," one would say in real life. Fortunately, this dangerously oblivious vehicle remains on a stage. "Counter fascination," as Roger Willemsen once said about it: the observer can look down while watching the jungle camp and therefore enjoy it. Contrary to the perpetrator. However, Miller succeeds in the "narrow balancing act," as he would mistakenly call it; presenting his character on the one hand, but also reflecting our own failure on the other hand; fortunately, with his registers of hardly exaggerated satire, with precisely the lightness that we know from him - and therefore do not immediately notice how he at least numbs the elephant: "...if not when, uh then ... now ... so uh ... practically ... ". It-is-not-enough-not-to-think-one-must-also-be-incapable-of-expressing-them-Part 8 !!!

Rolf Miller's 8th program! With "No Reason for Taking Action" and "Facts", the final breakthrough was achieved - with "Everything else is primary" and "Obacht", the brilliant satirist could not only build on his success but also reach a larger audience.

In my events, it is about the Freie ganzheitliche Familienaufstellung – a special and powerful method that allows everyone to actively participate in shaping their own setup if they wish.

In principle, Family Constellations support and help us make internal problems visible and tangible – for example, topics from relationships, family, everyday life, or from within yourself.

Often, unconscious patterns or blockages that have accompanied you for a long time show up, which you might want to dissolve or change. A new perspective and shared experiences create more clarity. This often leads to noticeable relief and makes internal sorting easier.

We meet on equal terms, and together we look at what develops, what emerges, and what solutions can arise.

Everything takes place in a protected, appreciative framework.

There is no "must" – you decide for yourself what and how much you want to share. What is important is that you feel comfortable and what feels right for you.

You are exactly right, just as you are.

Your participation options:

• With your own constellation: Do you have a topic that is bothering you? We will work together to find out what wants to be revealed.
• As a representative: You step into another role and discover interesting insights for yourself through the perspective on others.
• As an observer: Perhaps you simply want to observe and see what happens. Even as a quietr observer, you can experience a lot and take it with you.

Additional brief details:

• Time: 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• Location: Königstr. 110, 41564 Kaarst-Holzbüttgen
• Participation spots: small group – max. 7 people
• Registration: required - Registration form
• Cost: with own constellation 70 €, as representative or observer: 40 €
• Agenda: see website
• Dates 2026: see website
• No prior knowledge is required

You can find all detailed and necessary information on my website.

🎯I hope I could spark your curiosity.

If you feel addressed, follow your impulse.

 

➡️ If you want to get to know me beforehand, you can also arrange a free introductory meeting.

➡️ Tip: You can also book a Freie ganzheitliche Familienaufstellung as a individual appointment .

 

I look forward to getting to know you or seeing you again!

Everything you need can be found on my website.
