Pawel, a former middle school teacher in an alternative school, lays out how most of our adult problems were ones we first encountered in middle school. From social groups to complex problem solving, they show up again and again in life.

He also talks about how being a high-masking AuDHDer showed up in life.

Books mentioned:

The Anxious Generation* by Jonathan Haidt
Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well by Amy Edmondson

*And if you're skeptical of Haidt because of his terrible 2018 book, here's a podcast episode that fact checks and brings nuance to claims in The Anxious Generation: If Books Could Kill episode
