Meet Erica and Glenn - a neurodivergent couple who have both been diagnosed later in life. 

They had an inkling that something was going on fairly early in the relationship, but it took several years to realise that it was ADHD. 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Early signs of ADHD in school reports, and negative/unkind comments from teachers. 
  • Misdiagnosis prior to ADHD.
  • Low self worth and being hard on ourselves as ADHDers.
  • Post-diagnosis grief.
  • Masking.
  • Glenn’s experience with stimulant meds… and what happened when Ritalin had the opposite effect.
  • How ADHD couples can help each other, and tips for better communication and understanding in relationships.
  • Why ADHDers are some of the bravest people out there!
