All The Things ADHD

Usually Aimee comes with the rage, but today it was me. There was an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that tried to limply argue that disabled students (specifically students with ADHD) ar...

We’re back! It’s season seven because these things are arbitrary like all this related to time, like what month we start school in the fall or what day of the week is the first day! This w...

I’ve been thinking a lot about professionalism and how it is used to hide other, less…socially acceptable -isms, including ableism. How many of us who are neurodivergent have been told, ex...

It’s that time of the year for us academics: THE END OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR. What does that mean? It means that there is a rush of events and experiences and expectations that can be both enjoyabl...

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...

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 S...

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 it̵...

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 ...

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...

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 mayb...

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...

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 controver...

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 h...

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 ...

…or WE ARE BACK EVERYONE! Because time is a construct and so too are seasons of any given podcast (or tv show) this seemed like a good moment to start Season 6. Aimée shares what she did over the summ...

LOOK! Images! Show notes! Aimée and I talk about divergent thinking and how it is both great and awful, like most things when you’re neurodivergent. S4 E19: Spring Fever, ADHD-Style SIR Ken Robinson a...

Come to learn the origin of jazz hands. Stay for a useful metaphor for neurodivergence. Also, hear about my bad day. And why Aimée is wearing a baseball cap. Transcript!...

Hey, we’re back! For now! And we talk about how important it is that our brains get “fuck around time.” And how work doesn’t often look like work when you are neurodivergent. Seriously, though, what d...

LOL, I was supposed to have this out last Friday and I am barely going to get it out before this Friday. A listener asked us to do an episode about how to survive college as someone who is neurodiverg...

Hey everyone, your friendly neighborhood neurodivergent podcasters here. It’s been a while, and while we didn’t make any promises as to when we were coming back after the holidays, we never intended i...

Hey everyone, it’s been a year for your favorite neurodivergent academic podcasters. Aimée and I did manage to get together and record one last episode for 2022. It’s about all the things we are grate...

Ahem. We’re back. It’s been…all entirely too much. We talk about how we are trying to reframe everything that has been happening to us and how we are reacting to it. But 2022 can still suck it. Seriou...

In this episode, both Aimée and I share our breakdowns. There are too many things. We’ve lost many (most? all?) of our spoons. My internet even had had enough while we were recording, so apologies if ...

So, it’s Friday and Monday was a holiday so I lost track of what day it was and never edited and uploaded the episode. I spent all my time working on that segue (and I literally had to google how to s...

Welcome back after a three-week hiatus! We sure put the amateur in amateur podcasters! This week, it’s about sleep and how neurodivergent people tend to put off going to sleep even when we’re exhauste...

We’re back for Season Five! How did our Summer of Self-Acceptance go? Both really well and HORRIBLY. We have regrets. But at least we can laugh about it. And remember, it’s not catastrophizing if it’s...

Or taking a vacation from being so hard on yourself. It’s Friday the 13th (which we didn’t plan) and we’re releasing our 71st episode, which is an odd number to note, and also it’s our Season 4 finale...

So, I’m going to put a big, ol’ content warning on the top of this one. We talk about how the medical system and the individuals acting in it are ableist and ageist and sexist AF (among other things) ...

Elon Musk bought Twitter. This is where Aimée and I have all of our friends. We talk about why Twitter is such a great place for us to make and sustain friendships, and why we are perceived as being t...

In this episode, Aimée and I discuss what it’s like to be bored when you’re neurodivergent. And, spoiler alert, it happens A LOT and when it does, we have a physical reaction that can end up making us...

In the throws of insomnia, Aimée posses the question: what is the worst advice you’ve every heard which would make perfect sense if you were neurotypical, but as someone who is neurodivergent, the adv...

Hi, so, in this episode, Aimée drops a massive truth-bomb on me (and thus you, also) about self-care. Warning: you will feel really uncomfortable and possibly cry a little, but you NEED TO HEAR THIS. ...

Today we’re talking about the loaded and landmine-filled topic, receiving feedback as people who are neurodiverse. One of our listeners suggested the topic, and we both know how difficult it is to get...

Hi. Today Aimée and I talk about perfectionism. As you can probably tell by the quality of this website and podcast recording/editing quality, I am team Good Enough, while Aimée is on Team Perfectioni...

We sprang forward with the time (although this was recorded two weeks before that happened), it’s about to be the equinox, days are getting longer, and Aimée and I are getting MANIC AF. We talk about ...

Or, I Better Have Remembered To Attach The Damn MP3 File To This Post Or Alanis Morissette Is Going To Write A Whole Fucking Verse About This For A New Recording Of Her Hit Song Ironic. Which was too ...

I think I’m getting better at the titles to these episodes, but they pretty much make this blurb harder to write because I’ve already clearly let you know what the episode is about. But seriously, Aim...

Aimée shares a realization she made about herself and her behavior, which leads us down a road to talking about internalized ableism, gender roles, and how we’ve been being mean and hurtful to ourselv...

My son had to make a big decision. It didn’t go well. So Aimée and I talk about the challenges of making decisions when you are not neurotypical. It involves everyone’s favorite show, The Good Place, ...

Still in NOLA. I *could* have waited until I got home to post this week’s episode since it’s publishing next week and not tomorrow, but then I would have inevitably forgotten, and would be scrambling,...

Ok, so Time-Blindness and ADHD Wait Mode got the best of me and I forgot to edit the next two episodes and upload them, etc, before leaving for NOLA. So now I’m writing all of this, which is the only ...

Hey everyone! We’re back and literally we are worse for wear. I got COVID and Aimée had major facial trauma. And we talk about it, our experience, and our insights into what happened to us both on the...

This one is short and sweet. Aimée has been felled by the holidays and the end of the semester, so I just recorded a short holiday wish for y’all, and thank you for listening and coming on this journe...

…One of these things is kinda the same. Aimée and I decided to dig into what makes our podcast different from other ADHD podcasts hosted by women (no shade!). And while that makes us unique, it also m...

Aimée and I talk about not being able to finish things. All things. Many important things. Things where we are 98% there but just. can’t. get. over. the. finish. line. If you’ve ever struggled to get ...

Aimée and I talk more about surviving the holidays, and we share more of our own holiday stories. This was recorded the week before American Thanksgiving, so we hope that if you are in the States, you...

So…it’s mid-November (AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!) which means the holiday season is upon us, whether we’re ready or not. And most of us, admittedly, aren’t. And those of us with ADHD, well… Aimée and I talk ...

Well. Shit happens, and when shit happens (or, rather, we make the shit that is happening), as I say in the episode, “There ain’t no spiral like an ADHD spiral.” Or something like that. We’re getting ...

Hey everyone, you’re actually going to get show notes today! My piece in CHE that caused the “hangover.” Better Son/Daughter by Rilo Kiley (I was freaking close!) Anyway, today’s episode is about a ki...

Look, I’m running out of clever titles for these. I’m on a deadline. And it’s early. And I’ve run out of coffee. We’re picking up where we left off (or at least where Aimée forgot we left off) and tal...
