Episode notes

i think the only thing you can really liken it to is like finding out that, i don't know, that you're like secretly a princess or something. You spend your entire life in the context of this person who you did not know that you were. Do you feel like there's more talk about t h d in the last couple of years? Oh, there's definitely more talk about itand there's a number of reasons for that. For everybody who gets diagnosed, usually shortly before they get diagnosed, where the demands on executive function are too much for whatever coping mechanisms they've been skating by with so far.

Did Part 1 leave you informed and now you need a pep talk? Get ready for an absolute banger of an episode with 5 experts: René Brooks of BlackGirlLostKeys.com, TEDTalk speaker and How to ADHD YouTuber Jessica McCabe and neuroscientist Jahla Osborne of University of Michigan. What is it like to get diagnosed? How do you know which medication – if any – is right for you? Why is there such a spike in ADHD diagnoses during the pandemic? Autism and ADHD: what’s the deal? What accommodations should a person ask for? How can you have a strong relationship with one (or more) ADHD brains? What if your boyfriend juggles flaming swords for fun? Sure there are tips and tricks, but get ready for the pep talk and self-acceptance honestly everyone needs to hear. Plus: two cameos from past Ologists: Dr. Tiara Moore (Forensic Ecology) and Dr. Adam Becker (Quantum Ontology). Oh, and how this relates to Alie’s own Dadbrain. HERE WE GO.
