Hacking Your ADHD16 Tammi 2023

What's life like without ADHD?

Hey team, this week we have another listener question:

Hi there. I just wanted to say thank you so much. I was riding my bike while listening to your podcast and that really helped my brain to be able to digest the information and I was audibly saying, "Yes. Right. Okay." And it was like I was talking to you, so I just wanted to say thank you so much. I'm not even sure if I have a question, but today I did Google, "What's it like for people who don't have ADHD?" And in the three years of you having this podcast, forgive me if that's one that maybe I haven't listened to yet and completely ignore this and just take the compliment and the celebratory win of you are really affecting people's lives. I know that you've affected mine, and I know people have asked me, Hey, continue with your podcast, but because of some of the things I'm learning and managing with my own executive functioning, I haven't been as consistent with my own podcast. So it's really inspirational to know that you are out here doing it and honestly had such a wonderful structure and the music, and I'm like, wow, he really understands. He's really someone who actually understands what it's like in the brain and in the mind. So it was just such a pleasant experience to have found this podcast and I'm just so, so grateful. So I just wanted to say that. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the kind words about the podcast and you know what, that isn't an episode I've done - it isn't even a question I've ever thought about that much, but it is an incredibly intriguing one. Often when we're talking about ADHD we're talking about what it's like to have ADHD, but from my standpoint, well I already know what that's like, so what would it be like if I didn't have it?

So that is the question we're going to be looking at in this episode as well as looking into the terms neurotypical and neurodivergent as well as getting into a little bit about masking.
