This week’s episode is a special one—it’s dropping on our actual wedding day! 🎉 
We kick things off with a catch-up on our week and all the last-minute wedding chaos (spoiler: there’s always something missing, especially Adam’s e-cig liquid).
Adam picked this week’s subject, and it’s a biggie: Does ADHD actually get worse as you get older? The official answer is “no,” but scroll through social media and you’ll see everyone seems to disagree. So, what’s really going on?
We dig into:
Life’s mounting pressures as you grow up (and whether self-medicating just masks the symptoms)
Is Adam’s ADHD really getting worse, or is it just big life changes—like, say, getting married or maybe even having a baby? 👀
Has Adam started leaning into his symptoms, or are we just more aware now?
Dopamine regulation, chasing the next “hit,” and the legendary secret cookie-eating on Adam’s paper round
Executive function demands, life structure, and the all-important authority figures (Donna, obviously)
How symptoms shift with age—does impulsivity become emotional impulsivity? Does hyperactivity turn inward? Is forgetfulness just ADHD, or is it life getting harder?
Are people who have it all together in their twenties just… boring? Do we just stop masking as we get older?
The sudden, shocking realisation: are we actually old now?
The support that’s out there (and how to find it)
Plus, don’t miss our 5-minute moans—shoes, broken washing machines, and all the usual chaos. We wrap up with your good, bad, and ugly listener stories, and we’re planning a “Good, Bad & Ugly” special next episode—so send us your emails and messages!
