So that we don't over-explain a video about over-explaining, here's a gen-text summary, soon to be part of Matt's patented "Un-ADHD-ify" app! "In this ADHD20 episode, Alison and Matt discuss the propensity to overexplain things common amongst many individuals, including themselves. They delve into their shared observations about social media interactions and the role of over-explaining within it. They also discuss how over-explaining affects their daily lives, personal relationships, and even their Dungeons & Dragons characters. The conversation navigates through themes like neurodivergence, masking, and impulse control, linking these aspects of their daily realities to their gaming personas and their broader social interactions."Thank you, Matt, Alison &"Gipt"Our Discord is WHERE IT'S AT: http://bit.ly/TPDdiscordAnd our Patreon keeps the Lights On: https://www.patreon.com/enterthepocketdimension ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

"It's not that bad!". "You're overreacting." "Calm the f&%k down!"With ADHD, you've probably heard people say this to you your entire life. When your every reaction is dripping with emotion, others don't understand  that in your brain, stubbing your toe and losing your pet cat can produce the same amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth.In this video, we explore how catastrophizing and ADHD intersect, and how they can impact our experiences in tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). ---The beautiful article that inspired us talking about this: https://ijeomaoluo.substack.com/p/please-will-you-pump-my-gasOur equally beautiful Discord Server:http://bit.ly/TPDdiscordAnd a Cool Kids Club full of beautiful people:https://www.patreon.com/enterthepocketdimension ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We know that everyone, ADHD or no, procrastinates on the things that you don't want to do. But those with "squirrel brains" can even procrastinate on things that we REALLY LOVE, like prepping for D&D. Why? We have some terribly-cited answers for you! And even some ways to Get Medieval on Procrastination's Ass when you need to!We didn't use the advice given to us by our lovely Discord Server this week, but we usually do, and you can be a part of that advice: http://bit.ly/TPDdiscordWe DID send this video to our Patrons nearly a week before anyone else, so if that trips your trigger: https://www.patreon.com/enterthepocketdimension ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Join us for a LONG overdue chat with our favorite designer, beatmaker and wannabe lycanthrope, Evan Bivins! We attempt an unqualified armchair diagnosis—at Evan's request, of course—and use the words "Venn Diagram" a whole bunch. We recorded and edited this podcast using an incredible tool called Descript. It allows us to record audio and video, sure, but then edit that audio/video using the text transcription it produces. We’re big into making podcasts accessible, so this is a no-brainer for us. We’re not sponsored by them, but the link you just clicked is an affiliate one.We spend a lot of our free time in our happy-making Discord server, free and open to all! http://bit.ly/bivbrosdiscordIf you like what you see here, we have a robust Patreon Page, where your hard-earned bucks help us to make this video, and we would be very very grateful if you considered sponsoring us.
