29. "What part of my PERSONALITY is ME, and what part is my ADHD?!" π€
Description
Hi gorgeous besties!Β
In todayβs episode:Β
Tara's suitcase game is stronggg, Grace is always real but is getting realllly real about her ADHD.
DIVERGENT DILEMMA:
A beautiful trans listener asks "I was wondering if being assigned female at birth is one of the reasons why I was diagnosed late? And if you think that transgender men usually have female ADHD?"Β
- We discuss ADHD intersectionality, the interplay between nature and nurture
- Whether there any biological underpinnings of ADHD in women?
- Whether certain ADHD traits are more likely to appear in AFAB people
- How to separate ADHD traits/symptoms from our personalities? "What is me and what is my ADHD?"
IREGGY SEGGY:
We try to alleviate our impulse purchase guilt by comparing reddit confessions π« Β
- Kayaks, boats, houses, Nutella jars the size of a newborn infant... if you can think of it, someone has impulse purchased it.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
β’ Tara recommends Sally Rooney's book Intermezzo; neurodivergent themes, awkward tensions - what more could you want? π
β’ Grace recommends a new Japanese reality show on Netflix called 'The Boyfriend,' an understated but GORGEOUS series that she is addicted to π¨ββ€οΈβπ¨
We hope you enjoyyyy and we will be back in your ears next THURSDAY babes!ππ§
All our love, Tara & Grace xx
(donβt RSD plz, or we will be so so mad)
