Can you believe it?! It is our 100th episode and we are FINALLY getting our ADHD assessed! Not really - but this week Katie and Garet give each other made up ADHD assessments by asking questions that really get to the heart of living with ADHD as grown ass adult women who have bills and families and jobs. Will you be just as surprised as we were at our results? Tune in to find out.  MOST IMPORTANTLY -- we have a huge announcement -- we are changing our podcast format to a seasonal format!!!

With Garet returning to full time employment with a full time baby that still requires attention almost all of the time, and Katie's life getting busier and busier, and our unpaid intern still working full time as our editor PLUS he has an actual job that pays him real human dollars to do - we all thought this was the best way to ensure we continue to give you all the best content in the most consistent manner.

This week Garet talks to us about over-stimulation. We've discussed sensory processing disorder but what happens to your brain when you're just overwhelmed by the texture of the chair you're sitting on or how hot you are or how many people are talking at the same time? Well, this week we discuss that and how some super aggressive monkeys near Puerto Rico stopped throwing poop at everyone when they got too hot. And if that's not relatable, what is? Overstimulation has physical and emotional implications and we dive into those aspects of it and we discuss ways to combat overstimulation without medication!    You can check out our brand new merch at bit.ly/anklehighmerch and support us by joining our Patreon for just $5 per month at www.patreon.com/thebarisanklehigh where you'll get access to extended cut ad free audio and video episodes plus bonus episodes, be added to our close friends list on Instagram, and get an on-air shout out and goodies from us in the mail!

This week Garet teaches us all about aphantasia and hyperphantasia - words used to describe whether or not you are able to picture something in your mind's eye and to what extent you can picture something. It turns out - not everyone has a TV show running in their brains like Lizzie McGuire and that can make a difference when you're trying to remember important moments in your life - from happy memories like the birth of your child to really terrifying memories that are associated with PTSD. Garet explains this phenomenon to us and we discuss possible connections to increased rates of PTSD, dementia, and Alzheimer's.

We've referenced this topic in almost every single one of our episodes - but we've never actually examined the truth behind the common belief that ADHD is over-diagnosed these days. Katie took over the research this week to answer the question - are there ACTUALLY more people with ADHD these days, or is that just something old farts on social media want us to believe? Katie breaks down the studies that actually objectively measured the incidences of ADHD in children since 1997 and if you're late diagnosed like us, the answer will probably not surprise you. We also take a slight detour into the DONE ADHD president and CEO arrests from last week and what that federal indictment for drug trafficking charges can mean for continuing care for folks who used that app and service.  If you are struggling to access your medications, please do not attempt to acquire your medication on the black market.

Well, if you're in the United States then you know this year, 2024, is yet another election year. The thing is, even though the presidential election this year guarantees to be a dystopian rematch of the 2020 election and subsequent debauchery including everything from Rudy Guiliani's melting head outside an adult sex toy store and Four Seasons Total Landscaping to another breach of the Capitol Buildings, there's also EVERY SINGLE House of Representatives seat up for grabs as well as a good portion of the senate AND of course your local elections.  That's a shitload of voting so we brought in our favorite Legislative Director, Sarah Spellman, who you might know on Instagram as @senatorspellman, or you might recognize their voice from their appearance on our Pride Month episodes from last year. This year, Sarah is bringing their expertise in elections to us to explain basic civics and how to pick a candidate - and also the best way to connect with your representatives so they know about the issues that really matter to you. So tune into this extra long episode and make sure you're registered to vote!  You can check your registration status and find information about everyone you're eligible to vote for this year by heading over to www.vote.org (non-partisan!)  Sources:  Session Schedules - StateScape State Session Schedules Schoolhouse Rock - I'm Just a Bill - YouTube Mapping Attacks on LGBTQ Rights in U.S. State Legislatures in 2024 | American Civil Liberties Union (aclu.org)   You can check out our brand new merch at bit.ly/anklehighmerch and support us by joining our Patreon for just $5 per month at www.patreon.com/thebarisanklehigh where you'll get access to extended cut ad free audio and video episodes plus bonus episodes, be added to our close friends list on Instagram, and get an on-air shout out and goodies from us in the mail!

We're back with another episode of ADHD Would You Rather! Katie & Garet discuss various scenarios, such as cleaning out a closet vs. rebuilding a wardrobe, drinking coffee with missing elements vs. having perpetual coffee breath, waking up sweaty vs. waking up freezing cold, and being misunderstood vs. unable to explain oneself. They also touch on topics like sticky lip gloss vs. chapped lips and the band Phish. The conversation is light-hearted and humorous, with both Katie and Garet sharing their preferences and personal experiences. In this conversation, Garet and Katie discuss various topics, including plastic surgery, jaw reconstruction and it's impact on facial changes as demonstrated by our tweeny hearthrob, Zac Efron. No matter which of these you choose, remember to be kind to yourself, because the bar is ankle high!

Remember a few weeks ago when Garet was talking about Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and mentioned something about the use of dopamine to regulate pain levels? Well, that fun fact stuck in Katie's head in a big way so this week Katie teaches us about the connection between dopamine and pain perception - and can you believe it? It's different for folks who were assigned male at birth than it is for folks assigned female a birth! If ONLY we had seen this in every other study we've ever looked into...wait...oh yeah. We also discuss the effects that chronic pain has on the brain and dopamine production and reception and then discuss that gem of a commencement speech by Harrison Butker - because the bar is ankle high.

Welcome to yet another topic inspired by Katie's endless scrolling on TikTok before it gets banned - today we're diving headfirst into Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, a connective tissue disorder that affects joint stability. Although the video Katie sent Garet was discussing hyperextending your joints and how damaging that can be to your body over time, HSD can actually cause problems with your vascular system, intestines (think Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis), skin, and - you guessed it - your brain! We discuss Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the connection between hypermobility and neurodivergence - so make sure you listen to the whole episode because we also discuss what these new and developing studies could mean for AFAB healthcare in the future.

Well, it finally happened - after 90 episodes our winning streak was broken and we lost one of our recordings. It doesn't matter why, all that matters is that it was Garet's fault and we've probably fixed the problem!  In the meantime - this week we are giving you one of our Patreon Bonus Episode Deep Cuts with an episode where we discuss living with someone who has ADHD or being the person that someone else has to live with even though we have ADHD. Katie had just moved in with her boyfriend - the first time in five years that she's lived with a romantic partner. Katie shares the adjustments she and PK have had to make recently and Garet shares the things she's learned over the course of her decade-long (and we'll say successful) marriage.  You can check out our brand new merch at bit.ly/anklehighmerch and support us by joining our Patreon for just $5 per month at www.patreon.com/thebarisanklehigh where you'll get access to extended cut ad free audio and video episodes plus bonus episodes, be added to our close friends list on Instagram, and get an on-air shout out and goodies from us in the mail!

Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Gifts...the Five Love Languages that, in 1992, were the subject of Pastor Gary Chapman's book that was used by Christians and non-Christians alike to help their intimate relationships. But are there only five love languages? And how did Chapman come up with this list anyway? This week Katie dives into the Five Love Languages and what they really mean - and then we talk about what the Love Languages of ADHD are.

What does the inside of your kitchen junk drawer look like?   And why is it always in the kitchen?  We all have a random smattering of ideas laying around and today I'm sharing a few that wouldn't necessarily make a whole episode in and of themselves, so I'm combining these random thoughts rattling around my brain into one Junk Drawer episode.  First, we cover a few questions around ADHD medications with some crowdsourced helpful tips on how to find medicine with shortages happening everywhere, as well as what it feels like when I forget to take my medicine (a clear indicator towards it not being addictive when you use it as prescribed). We're also talking about emotions surrounding a late ADHD diagnosis, exploring feelings of frustration and grief while questioning if things would have been different had we known earlier? Shout-out to listener Sara, who suggested this topic! Then, I'm celebrating our amazing sponsors: Skylight Calendars, Calm Strips, and Time Timers, who believe in our mission and help keep this podcast free for you. I'm so thankful to be working with great companies who are amplifying our goal of sharing quality ADHD info in the world.

Calm Strips is the proud sponsor of Season 2 of Making Season.   Calm Strips began as a small piece of blue tape wrapped on the founder's finger. He looked a bit silly wearing the tape, not to mention he had a lone sticky finger at the end of the day. So, then came the idea to create something that you could stick anywhere and take everywhere you may need a little bit of calm. The Calm Strips' mission is to further destigmatize the need for support and help and their dedication to this mission is unwavering.   To learn more about Calm Strips and to purchase your strips today, visit www.calmstrips.com.
