Hi gorgeous besties! 

In today’s episode: 

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?" 

• 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 🫠 

- Kayaks, boats, houses, Nutella jars the size of a newborn infant... if you can think of it, someone has impulse purchased it.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Tara recommends Sally Rooney's book Intermezzo; neurodivergent themes, awkward tensions - what more could you want? 📚

• Grace recommends a new Japanese reality show on Netflix called 'The Boyfriend,' an understated but GORGEOUS series that she is addicted to 👨‍❤️‍👨

We hope you enjoyyyy and we will be back in your ears next THURSDAY babes!👂🎧

All our love, Tara & Grace xx

(don’t RSD plz, or we will be so so mad)
