All The Things ADHD

Aimée was name-dropped in a new Taylor Swift song, but that isn’t actually what the episode is about. What it is about is thinking (quickly! This is our shortest episode that isn’t just me addressing you and wishing you a sappy new year!) about the difference between reading a book, taking hand-written notes, and what… Read more S6 E11: Maybe Try Writing It Down?

I swear, it’s only been a few days, and I completely forgot what we talked about for this episode. Finally, Otter.ai Insights proved useful to remind me what happened. We’ve talked about Spring Fever before, almost exactly two years ago. What’s changed? Well, we’re actually a little but better-adjusted and more attuned to how the… Read more S6 E10: SPRING ZOOMIES!

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse! Look, it’s Friday afternoon, GarageBand was being weird, I’ve done nothing but tedious tasks today, and it’s been a stressful week for me, personally. (Everyone is fine, it’s all fine, we’re all fine.) And I have a bad case of… Read more S6 E9: Writing the Neurodivergent YOU – The Guidebook, Part 2

The title is a mouthful. The podcast actually has some structure, with a build in cut point for part two that doesn’t involve me going incoherent. We have talked a great length about how advice meant for neurotypical people just doesn’t work for us, but how do you go about figuring out what DOES work… Read more S6 E8: Writing the Neurodivergent YOU – The Guidebook, Part 1

This was supposed to be what the last episode was about, but we took WAY too long to get here (and I am desperately trying to find where Aimée finally says it in the episode, but then gave up and just said it in the intro I recorded). Crip knowledge. Learn from it! Transcript (where… Read more S5 E7: Crip Knowledge

Well, this episode went so far off the rails that it had to be two episodes. Aimée tells the MOST AIMÉE STORY EVER, and we think about how all the things that we were told that were wrong with us maybe weren’t so wrong after all? And, again, sorry if we ignored you on Instagram.… Read more S5 E6: Aimée Gonna Aimée

Ahem. We’re back! We rested. And our rest doesn’t look like other people’s rest, but ALSO, we’re finding ourselves resting for VERY different reasons than other people seem to rest, and how we used to rest, which wasn’t very restful at all at all. I realize now that the title might be misleading, that we… Read more S6 E5: STOP RESTING SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN STEAL YOUR THUNDER

Aimée is in a MOOD. We have less time to do the things we are good at because we are being required to do more and more things that we, as neurodivergent people, are terrible at. This may be controversial, but why should have have to do things that we never had to before, were… Read more S6 E4: I Shouldn’t Have To Do This

Sue, this one is for you. I still didn’t look up what ADHD is in French. Which, MIRACLE. But also we’ve been busy. We talk in this episode about BIG FEELINGS. BIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG FEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS. We have them, you have them, we talk about them. We make no promises about when E4 will drop, but trust us,… Read more S6 E3: Hey Sue, We’re Still Here!

Since this is our 6th season and 85th episode, Aimée and I decided it was time to reconnect with our past selves as expressed by past episodes, and where we hope we (and you) dear listeners go in the future. We’ve even set an intention already for another episode next week! Also, we need a… Read more S6 E2: Looking Back, Looking Forward
