AK and Matt have two questions for you, today: is the ADHD tax real? and are we in a cult?The answers are yes, for sure, and…probably not? Unless you really were a part of the Satanic Panic, back in the day, and if so, mad respect, 'cuz that probably took a ton of time and energy.  And speaking of the ADHD tax, we have a Patreon that we want to make sure to remind everyone that they might still be paying for: https://www.patreon.com/bivinsbrothers . It's worth it, for sure, but you know, we want to be responsible citizens.Our Discord is Free, though: https://discord.gg/Sbz4e97h and if you join we will love you forever and ever and be your new family now and you can never leave us. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We are braving our crippling Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria by getting real honest today about what we specifically do to spike our Dopamine levels, and take a good hard look at whether we build Player Characters that inherit our ADHD. SA: we most definitely do.---Our Adorable Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bivinsbrothersOur Boisterous Discord Serv'r: https://bit.ly/bivbrosdiscord…and if you think of it, could you tell Apple/Spotify/Playstation Podcasts (?) that you are liking what we're doing?

One of Matt's dearest and oldest friends and brilliant learning and behavior specialist, Sarah Mobley, joins us on the podcast with the results of a brain assessment test she had us take recently! The results are fascinating, both in the test's findings and Sarah's take on how to improve our lowest ADHD-affected scores! Suggestions include starting a dance troupe, driving without GPS, and, thankfully! playing more RPGs. Thank you, Mrs. Mobley, for joining us and being our 2nd guest ever!!If you'd like to contact Sarah and learn more about her work, you can reach out to her at @AlbinaTritina or albinatritina at gmail.com.  ---We recorded and edited this podcast using an incredible tool called Descript.

What a delightful surprise this podcast has been for us! Something we just threw together because we thought the name was funny, but in eighteen episodes we have learned so much about ADHD, D&D, and ourselves! And we want to dream up what other kinds of trouble we can get into. We're taking a very short break and will be back in the new year with Season Two, so please stay tuned. Topics include favorite moments of this year, and Alison's dive into Worldbuilding! While we're on "hiatus", we'll be working on our "D&D Spells" TikTok channel here, and asking some of our ADHD&D heroes if they would like to join us for some gabbin'. But in the meantime, please come and hang out in our Discord channel, which is filled with all manner of folx, including neurodiverse brains, professional TTRPG players, comic book, music, movie, and TV show aficionados, theater geeks and more. Just like you!! Dang, you're cool.And if you like this stuff and want to toss a few coins (to your Witchers), you can support us via our Patreon site.

It can be tough to feel like you're always moving forward with what you most want to do, when you have ADHD. There are tons of combat encounters in life that seem to have the difficulty set too high. We don't have any answers, of course, but this week we talk about a couple of everyday "buffs" we are trying that make those encounters a little easier for us.Extra special thanks to Spiritual Healing Sam and Spiritually Speaking with Taryn for their manifestation mastery offerings, guidance and also just being wonderful human beings in general.  ---We recorded and edited this podcast using an incredible tool called Descript.

In this episode, AK and Matt may have finally found the perfect intersection of ADHD and D&D: we dream up 5e Spells based on ADHD traits (or "tenets", if you're a "Rhodes Scholar"). And it's so much fun. We imagine how ADHD-themed spells "Executive Dysfunction", "Interrupt", and "Time Blindness" would work, and cannot wait until we get to cast "Object Permanence" in our next game.
