Late Diagnosis and Letting Go with H.H. Rune

Hey Team!

This week I'm talking with H.H. Rune, a Pacific Northwest-based author whose writing explores neurodivergence, identity, and rediscovering meaning in everyday life. Rune was diagnosed with ADHD at 52 after decades of feeling like she was just "bad at life"—something I know I've felt a lot of in my own journey.

In our conversation today, we talk through the emotional processing of a late diagnosis—Rune describes it as going through the five stages of grief—and how she's reshaped her relationship with herself, her work, and the people around her. Rune also shares the evolution of her long-running book series and how ADHD both challenged and fueled her creative process.

This Episode's Top Tips

1. Avoid relying on memory, especially for creative ideas, and lean on tools like reminders, email, and structure to back up your attention. Don't trust your brain to remember and instead trust the systems you've set up.

2. Try celebrating your ADHD curiosity. Instead of shaming yourself for going down "random" thought paths, reframe your curiosity as a gift and use humor to engage others.

3. Getting a late diagnosis can require a lot of emotional processing. Rune describes going through the five stages of grief post-diagnosis, acknowledging that the loss of a "life that could have been" is real and valid.
