Episode notes
ADHD Heterogeneity
- People with ADHD are a heterogeneous group, varying significantly in how symptoms manifest.
- Individual experiences are shaped by upbringing, socioeconomic factors, and other intersectional elements.
Partner Similarities
- Partners of individuals with ADHD, regardless of their own neurology, share common experiences.
- Christina Crowe categorizes these partners into three groups: neurotypicals, masked ADHD, and diagnosed/well-managed ADHD.
