Late Not Less Ep. 10 | Late ADHD Diagnosis and Finally Understanding Yourself โ w/ Rodney Campbell
What happens when you spend years trying to keep up without realizing your brain runs on a different set of rules?ย In this episode of ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ, ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ด, Devin Pitts-Rogers sits down with ๐๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ โ entrepreneur, father, husband, gamer, D&D enthusiast, and Venture Forth cast member, to talk about late-diagnosed ADHD and the everyday realities that can come with it. Diagnosed in his late 30s, Rodney reflects on how understanding his ADHD helped him make sense of experiences that had followed him from school into adulthood, including hyperfocus, executive function challenges, burnout, and the pressure to constantly accomplish more.Together, they discuss why seemingly simple tasks can become unexpectedly complicated with ADHD, how body doubling and accountability can help with getting started, and what happens when notifications, responsibilities, and unfinished tasks are all competing for your attention. Rodney also opens up about his experiences in the workplace, the importance of having support structures instead of being labeled โlazyโ or inattentive, and the danger of tying your value to how much you can accomplish. Along the way, they explore meditation, intentional rest, creativity, parenting, and why Dungeons & Dragons gives Rodney an opportunity to be fully present and engaged.โจHighlightsโจโ๏ธ Why ADHD can make everyday tasks feel much more complicated than expectedโ๏ธ How body doubling and accountability can make it easier to get startedโ๏ธ Why hyperfocus isnโt always the same as being able to control your attentionโ๏ธ How notifications and overstimulation can compete for an ADHD brainโs attentionโ๏ธ Why workplace support can make a meaningful difference for neurodivergent employeesโ๏ธ The connection between productivity, burnout, and self-worthโ๏ธ Why rest doesnโt always mean doing nothingโ๏ธ How Dungeons & Dragons, creativity, and improvisation help Rodney stay presentโ๐โ๐ ๐๐๐ โ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐ก. ๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐ ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐โ๐๐๐.โ โ ๐๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ If you received an ADHD diagnosis later in life, what did it help you understand differently about yourself?
