Deep dives
Difficulty perceiving time
One of the main challenges for people with ADHD is the inability to perceive time accurately. They struggle with the feeling of time passing and often lose track of it. This can lead to issues like being late for appointments or underestimating the time required for tasks.
Memory challenges
ADHD individuals often struggle with different aspects of memory, including prospective memory. Prospective memory involves remembering to remember to take action, such as remembering to do a task later. ADHD individuals can have significant difficulties with this, often forgetting to do tasks they intended to complete.
Emotional dysregulation
ADHD is also associated with emotional dysregulation. Emotions can be intense, and individuals with ADHD may have a hard time controlling their emotional responses. Feelings of anger, sadness, or excitement can be heightened and may appear disproportionate to the situation for others.
Communication and understanding in relationships
In relationships where one partner has ADHD and the other is neurotypical, communication and understanding can be challenging. It is important for both partners to remain curious and patient with one another, acknowledging the differences in how their brains work and finding strategies to support each other.
In this episode, Monica chats with Jesse Anderson, a multifaceted creator, speaker, author, and an inspiring advocate for ADHD. They delve into Jesse's journey, exploring his challenges, strategies, and insights related to living and thriving with ADHD.
