ADHD 101 - An intro chat

Our latest episode of Afternoona Asks ND is covering Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which just like Autism, is a neurotype with a lot of prejudice and stigma attached to it. In this podcast episode Sarah and Fran sit down to chat about ADHD traits and Fran shares her own personal experiences with them. They talk about the struggles of living with time blindness and executive dysfunction, the magic of hyperfocus and feelings of shame and frustration at the inability to regulate attention effectively. We also mention a few ADHD coded characters in preparation to future episodes on ADHD characters in asian dramas.
