One of the noticeable traits, and one of the symptoms of ADHD that I find stigmatized is our impulsivity. Our propensity to act without fully taking the time to consider the consequences. I also find that it is one of the biggest things that is stigmatized besides hyperactivity. The thing is that it is something that I know for many people with ADHD isn’t our fault. It is our brains. To be more specific our executive functioning is causing the issue. There are things we can do to lessen it, but it still follows us like a stray that wants to be fed forever. On this episode, I wanted to understand it from another perspective

So I talked to my daughter. My daughter has ADHD like me, in fact, you could call her a mini-me, and I decided to get an understanding of it through her. I’m not sure if it makes it clearer, but it was interesting to get her perspective. I have ADHD, did I mention that?
