In this episode: Have you ever felt completely frozen, staring at your project, knowing exactly what needs to get done — but physically unable to begin? It's not procrastination — it's ADHD Paralysis — and there are three kinds: mental paralysis, analysis paralysis, and task paralysis, all of which can lead to shutdowns. It's a neurological issue (executive functions not functioning) as well as an emotional one (a trauma response). Whether you're ADHD or AuDHD, this episode helps you understand that you don't need more willpower — you need more compassion. You're overwhelmed, and you deserve support.

In June I'm reposting the most popular episodes from the show while I take a step back to look at the big picture (because my monotropic brain has trouble doing that while also pumping out new content). Mentioned in outro:Experimenting Your Way to an Extraordinary LifeOriginal show notes:AuDHD = autism + ADHD... and also I experience it as its own neurotype, and not simply two "disorders."Here are the sets of questions I asked in the episode, if you'd like to take time with them on your own:Do you feel like advice almost never works for you? Not only NT advice, but even advice from autistic OR ADHD people? That your brain either instantly knows advice won't work for you, or tries it and feels really disappointed because you did have a lot of things in common with the person who gave it to you but somehow still it felt like your body or brain were just not clicking with it?Are the internal parts of you always fighting? Do you feel like the things your body and brain want are often in complete opposition and that it's literally impossible to get your needs met, because different parts of you want such different things to feel safe, regulated, and cared for?Have you managed to build some modicum of success in an area through anxiety and adrenaline? This could be school, work, a creative pursuit, relationships. Have you received external validation for doing this thing well, all the while being absolutely terrified that it's all going to fall apart and you have no idea how to handle how your life feels and it all feels extremely precarious and painful at the day-to-day level? Do you feel the need to hide how much you're struggling, and/or if you've disclosed your struggles have they not been taken seriously?Is your energy quite cyclical, where when you feel like your brain is working you'll push yourself really really hard, and then be totally exhausted and need time to recover? And without adequate recovery time, Is burnout, or burnout-like depression (they can be similar) a frequent experience for you? Or do you live in fear of it?Thanks to Hanu Dixit for permission to use the song A Sitar Story.Full Transcript here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In episode 550 of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers sits down with Dr. Shannan Palma to explore Decide—a suite of AI-powered decision-support tools built by and for neurodivergent brains. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear about: How Decide leverages AI (Gemini and large language models) to help with everyday choices and multi-step tasks. The story behind IT Assistive Technologies and the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network. Real-world examples of “decision fatigue” and how Decide's guided and randomized features ease choice paralysis. The balance between AI assistance and human insight—and why a trusting, well-prompted tool can feel like a personal neurodivergent life coach. Pricing, privacy, and the community-focused mission: 85 percent of ITI's profits fund disability-led initiatives. Bonus segments on Pride Month, coaching groups, virtual coworking, and how to get involved with ADHD reWired's summer programs. Use these show notes to get a quick overview, find useful links, and discover why Decide might become your new go-to when you're stuck choosing dinner, figuring out a daily routine, or simply need a gentle “nudge” to move forward. Episode Summary Dr. Shannan Palma—co-founder of Decide and co-director of the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network—joins Eric to unpack how tools designed by autistic and ADHD adults can transform decision making for all of us. Shannan shares her own late autism and ADHD diagnoses, the challenges she faced finding resources after getting “the piece of paper,” and how a 48-hour hackathon sparked a project that won first prize and secured nearly $400 k in grant funding. From door-dash dilemmas to life-altering choices (like whether to adopt a foster dog), Decide offers two core modes: Randomized Choice Generator Users create custom lists (e.g., favorite restaurants, daily routines) and assign energy costs. The app selects an option based on your current energy level—no more breakfast indecision or “what to watch next” paralysis. Guided Decision Assistance A series of friendly, “affirmative” prompts mirror a real-time coach. By reflecting back your own criteria (energy, resources, priorities), Decide delivers a percentage-confidence recommendation and rationale—so you can make a defensible, informed choice without overthinking. Along the way, Shannan emphasizes the importance of privacy (your data always belongs to you), ethical AI (focusing on “do no harm”), and how Decide's freemium model avoids the “ADHD tax” by offering 10 free guided decisions per month. Premium access is available for $4.99/month, but you can cancel at any time without losing progress. Key Takeaways Why “Decision Fatigue” Matters: Neurodivergent brains often struggle with countless small choices (e.g., “What's for dinner?”). Decide's randomized generator isn't just for fun—it reduces executive-function load by factoring in your energy level and pre-ranked options. Guided Mode = Personalized Neurodivergent Coaching: Instead of writing complex prompts for ChatGPT or Claude, Decide asks you targeted yes/no/unsure questions. Once you answer, it gives a clear recommendation (with a confidence score) plus a brief “why,” so you trust your decision-making process. Built by Autistic + ADHD Makers: After Shannan's late autism diagnosis, she realized few supports existed for lower-visibility autistic adults. A 48-hour hackathon (Give Back Hack Columbus) brought together autistic and ADHD engineers, designers, and researchers—leading to Decide's prototype and subsequent $400 k grant from Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities. Community-First Funding Model: 85 percent of any IT Assistive Technologies' profits flow back to the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network (ASR). ASR focuses on autonomy and resources for autistic adults—rather than caregiver research—aiming to expand capacity and economic inclusion across the lifespan. Privacy & Data Rights: Decide won't train AI on your personal data, and you retain full ownership of anything you input. Future plans include an opt-in research repository for autistic/ADHD lifespan data—governed by community safeguards.

In this episode, Keith Kalfas shares transformative insights on mastering financial systems based on his personal experiences. Highlighting the importance of having robust systems in place, he discusses James Clear's philosophy on systems over standards and introduces the MVSA (Minimum Viable System). Keith provides a detailed breakdown of the 30% and 50% rules for managing finances and achieving a 50% gross profit margin. He emphasizes the routine of 'Friday Finances' and how it brought order to his financial chaos. Additionally, Keith invites listeners to join his Untrapped Alliance group for deeper learning and access to successful business strategies, featuring contributions from financial experts like Dan Plata. Throughout, he underscores the significance of habit-building and consistent system application for financial stability. "You already have systems—some of them just suck. But once you become aware of that, you can fix them. That's when everything starts to change." – Keith Kalfas Topics Covered: Introduction to Systems and Integrity Understanding and Implementing Systems The Life-Changing Friday Finances System The 30% Rule for Taxes The 50% Gross Profit Margin Rule The Untrapped Alliance Invitation Testimonials and Success Stories Key Takeaways Systems Save You—Even From Yourself James Clear's quote sets the tone: "You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems." Keith drives home the point that even with ADHD or chaos in life, simple, repeatable systems create stability. His Minimum Viable System (MVSA) concept proves that even imperfect systems beat no systems—because consistency wins. The 30% and 50% Rules Are Game Changers for Small Biz Finances 30% Rule: Set aside 30% of your gross income (yes, even if it stings!) for taxes in a separate savings account. This protects you from tax season panic and builds discipline fast. 50% Rule: Build every job estimate to hit at least a 50% Gross Profit Margin. That means if it costs $1,000 to do the job, quote $2,000. This ensures your business isn't just busy—it's profitable. Your Financial Habits Shape Your Freedom Keith's “Friday Finances” ritual is a simple but powerful weekly system: review all accounts, reconcile records, check in with your bookkeeper, and make sure every dollar has a job. Over time, this habit pulled him out of financial chaos and into clarity—with 17 bank accounts now dialed in like a boss.

In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay explores a hidden root cause of ADHD symptoms that most parents (and even doctors) overlook—Clostridia overgrowth, specifically C. diff. If your child struggles with meltdowns, mood swings, anxiety, or sleep issues—and nothing has worked—this episode could be a game-changer. Dana breaks down what C. diff is, how it affects neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, and why many kids are being misdiagnosed when the real problem lies in their gut. Dana Kay is an ADHD health practitioner, author, and mom who has helped over 1,500 families through her ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program. In this episode, she shares real-life stories, scientific explanations, and actionable solutions—including the power of the Organic Acids Test and a gut-healing probiotic blend called Gut Restore Essentials. Whether you're just beginning your ADHD journey or feeling stuck, this episode will give you practical next steps and a renewed sense of hope.

C. diff is like a bully in the gut—pushing around the good bacteria and creating chaos. Many of these symptoms are misdiagnosed as behavioral or emotional problems—but the real issue is sometimes biological. This exact scenario has been observed on Organic Acids Tests. Dopamine xcess can be linked to hyperactivity, agitation, or even psychotic-like behavior. No amount of parenting strategies or therapy will work until we address what's happening in the gut. The OAT test gives us a window into gut bacteria, neurotransmitter imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and more. This test is a simple urine test you can do from home. Most pediatricians are not looking at the gut when it comes to ADHD symptoms. You are not imagining things. Their body may be sending out very real distress signals. Dana Kay Resources:

In episode 16 George and Kathy chat about some glaring neurodivergent traits displayed by legendary Ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates. Ultimately murdered by the state for being, well, Socrates, this potentially ancient neurodivergent individual was famed for his eccentric social skills (or lack of) as well as for his unparalleled ability to see through absolutely anything anyone said or did. In the end, we know nothing, and we will never be able to diagnose Socrates, but George and Kathy had a great time discussing the possibility.MusicYour Story by MusicbyAden | https://soundcloud.com/musicbyadenMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion

We all want to raise healthy, happy children. But when it comes to their mental health, there's a lot of confusion about what's normal and what needs attention. You've probably heard things like, “Kids are just moody,” or “They'll grow out of it.” But in today's world, where screen time is up, attention spans are down, and anxiety is more common than ever, those casual explanations might be dangerously outdated. After leading a wellness session for teachers and parents at a local school, I was overwhelmed by the questions and concerns around kids' emotional and mental well-being. So in this special “Science vs. Fiction” episode, I'm diving into the real science behind children's mental health and busting the myths that keep families from getting the help they need. I explore what mental health really means in children, how to recognize the signs of disorders like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and autism, and why early support can change the course of a child's life.

In this episode, I introduce you to Amanda A. who is married with three kids. Amanda found herself with compounding Golden Windows which created a little chaos in her life. She had just started back to work, went to transfer files to her dropbox and stumbled upon an old bundle she'd downloaded years prior - the Ultimate Bundle. It was exactly what she needed and her “relationship” with Organize 365® took off from there. Amanda had tried a lot of other organizational systems but none of them seemed to be the solution. When Amanda came across the module about organizing your schedule is when she felt relief. Golden windows Amanda was experiencing were her turning 40, moving to IL., she had a baby, took care of her mom her mom, covid hit. That was the two years leading up to 2021. In 2021, August she went back to work after 4 years, in Nov. her son needed medical help, and in Dec. of 2021 she was able to get a handle of it all that fateful day when she came across the module to organize her schedule. Amanda has ADHD and while she understands getting your life under control starting with the Sunday Basket® consistently for 6 weeks, that wasn't her. We had such a great productive conversation about using the space in your home for the phase of life you are in. Amanda is using her dining room as her office. It's where everything gets processed anyway so why not? I shared how “Grayson's Room” upstairs has changed purpose over the years and as recently as a few weeks ago. When I found out Abby was pregnant I re-assessed how we need to be using that space. That's exactly what Amanda did with her dining room and talking through it, may be Christmas Central too this December. Amanda shared about their steak drawer. They made a drawer in their kitchen functional for when her husband or son want to make steak, which is often! Once you decide how you want to use a space, think of any obstacles you may have and problem solve. A cabinet can be used the same as a drawer or vice versa. They purchased their home from a couple who had recently became empty nesters. There were some features they would never use. One was when the beverage cooler went out. She reimagined the space with a mini fridge that now houses school lunch items. Amanda has a lot of Organize 365r products, including The Productive Home solution. She was paralyzed where to start because the members were on a different day that day 1. Amanda was skeptical that a storage space or or laundry room would stay organized. These are the spaces you start with because they stay organized the longest. So she started in their laundry room. Sure enough…she cleaned out the winter stuff, gave items homes, and to her disbelief, it stayed organized! Amanda has more perspective by pausing and thinking about how she needs to do stuff. She likes to flit around in the programs and that suits her ADHD but compounds to be organized. And she wishes she'd known that no one is being as critical as she is about her home. She has such bad negative self talk about the state of her home at one time. But now, Amanda's advice is, “You can have as many redos or day 1's as you need. When starting the Productive Home Solution, you can start where you want. And if you need to restart, do that! Planning day is like that for me every few months. Time to start over.” EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In this episode, Heather addresses the misconceptions surrounding ADHD, particularly the notion that intelligent and successful individuals can't have ADHD. She emphasizes that ADHD can often be the underlying cause of various misdiagnosed conditions like depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Heather discusses her evolved therapeutic approach, which involves providing more active coaching and grounding clients to prevent them from feeling like they're spinning without direction. She highlights the importance of self-trust, proactive self-care, and healthier dopamine sources for managing ADHD. The conversation also touches on the role of psychoeducation in relationships, the impact of chronic pain, and the benefits of finding the right type of therapy for ADHD. Heather concludes by encouraging listeners to examine and challenge the stories they tell themselves and to seek therapists who truly understand the ADHD brain.00:00 Addressing Misconceptions About ADHD01:35 The Role of a Therapist in ADHD Treatment02:48 Navigating Therapy for ADHD06:00 The Impact of ADHD on Relationships09:06 Understanding Dopamine and ADHD14:03 Personal Journey and Coping Strategies19:01 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Joy LenzFibromyalgia 101.

You probably won't be surprised when I tell you that the incidence and diagnosis of ADHD has increased a bazillion percent over the last two decades (well about 1,100 percent in Australia, to be more accurate). According to Gillespo, it's got something to do with our 'dopamine set point' and also marketing people who are strategically trying to hijack our brain and attention, and what better way to do that than with the thing many of you are currently holding in your hand?

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to wish everyone a Happy Pride Month, because queer joy is resistance. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Jennie Wetter, the Director of rePROS Fight Back (@reprosfb), an initiative that fights for sexual and reproductive health rights and justice issues. Jennie is also the creator and host of the rePROs Fight Back podcast. Among the many things that rePROS does to fight back is to grade each of the 50 states on access to reproductive and sexual health rights and care (including access to gender-affirming care). They have recently released their 13th annual (fully interactive!) 50-state Report Card and spoiler alert: The United States as a whole gets an F. Fair warning, looking up your state's grade might make your heart hurt (unless you're like Leigh and live in one of the 5 states that actually got an A). We talk with Jennie about what things have been like for rePROS since the reversal of Roe and whether our Gilead robes absolutely have to be red (it's just not our color). Although it can be really easy to become overwhelmed by how bad things are, Jennie explains that there's actually a lot to be hopeful about. Between the abortion funds and local clinics there are quite a lot of resources on the ground to help people access care, even in states with strict legislation. Medication abortion remains available and is a fully safe option. With the recent attacks on trans rights, initiatives like rePROS are fighting even harder to ensure access to gender affirming care for all who need it, including minors. Even though at the federal level, things are bleak (that report card is a real eye-opener), there are ways to fight back at the state-level and getting involved locally can really help keep that feeling of doom at bay. Jennie reminds us that no one person can do or know everything (even if Ellie's ADHD really wants her to try). Figure out which one cause you want to put your energy toward and focus solely on that. Even Jennie doesn't know everything, but she makes herself a trusted resource by knowing what direction to point people in when they come to her for help. Take a deep breath and remember, you don't have to take on everything yourself! Find your lane and follow it and know that others are doing the same in the lanes you didn't choose. Burning yourself out trying to do it all won't help anyone and certainly won't help you feel any better. We see you, we appreciate you, and we want you to remember: no act of resistance is too small.

Imagine a world without Mozart or Michelangelo, Einstein or Edison. Famous for their creativity, a "mysterious force" that psychiatrist and ADHD expert, Ed Hallowell, says is a commonality in neurodiverse people. Neurodiversity is a relatively new term, but the thinking behind it has been going on for a while. There's increasing evidence that what we know today as Autism, ADHD, BipolarDisorder, Schizophrenia, and Dyslexia may have been a way for us to extend our species chances of survival. And yet the thinking around brain variations like ADHD is that it's a deficiency, something that needs to be fixed. Sandra Bourque's two-part series, The Myth of Normal traces the social and cultural response to neurodiversity and whether there's a way back to seeing this way of thinking as an advantage.
If you've ever invested time or money into a “sure thing” that fizzled, or found yourself insisting, “this time I'll stick to my schedule!” (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary), you're not alone. We are talking about cognitive biases, those sneaky mental shortcuts that shape our decisions, our stories, and, often, our downfalls.Cognitive biases aren't unique to ADHD brains; they're a universal human feature. They are one of the tools evolution handed us to allow for snap decisions instead of getting overwhelmed by information. But for those of us with ADHD, these shortcuts don't always get us where we want to go. Sometimes, they spark innovation, but other times, they lead us straight into frustration or failure.Drawing inspiration from Vicki Tan's book “Ask This Book a Question,” we'll break down why our ADHD brains are uniquely wired to fall into these “mind traps,” from relentless optimism and the sunk cost fallacy, to judging ourselves and others with double standards. But it's not all doom and gloom: you'll find out how understanding these biases can help you harness them as tools, create better decision-making habits, and transform your relationship with your business and your team. Let's unravel the stories we tell ourselves—and learn how to write better ones.Here's what you'll learn in this episode:What cognitive biases are, and which ones our ADHD brains are most prone to The Optimism Bias - why we are grossly unrealistic about how much time and energy things take, and how to calibrate your big dreams.The Fundamental Attribution Error—why we give ourselves grace but judge our team, clients, and competitorsSunk Cost Fallacy— why we can't let go of things we've worked hard at, even when they are doomed to fail My personal hacks for reality checking, perspective shifting, and accountability building, and my four-step “fresh start” framework.Tools to reset your decision-making: decision journals, external accountability, and Post-its that help you keep your eye on those sneaky bias blindspots Spoiler alert: Cognitive biases aren't a bug; they are a feature. These mental shortcuts are part of the brain's operating manual. The key isn't to eliminate them, but to learn how to spot them and flip them into tools for smarter (and kinder) entrepreneurship.

In this episode, Laura shares: How she integrates therapy dogs into her counseling program and the thoughtful steps she takes to support students who may be afraid of dogs, including family communication, opt-out options, and classroom dog-safety lessons. A sneak peek into her Summer Summit session on helping students with executive functioning challenges. Laura explains the concept of “body doubling” and how it can be used in schools to help students initiate and complete tasks. She shares real-life examples, including how she supports first graders in their classrooms by modeling behaviors and reinforcing strategies. What a typical day looks like as a school counselor, especially in a split-school role. Laura walks us through her daily rhythm, ranging from morning announcements, classroom lessons, and small groups to drop-in sessions and time tracking at the end of the day. Her advice for new school counselors: Take the pressure off. Laura encourages new counselors to spend their first year observing, listening, and building relationships instead of trying to do everything at once. She also shares practical time management tips like habit stacking to create sustainable routines. The inspiration behind her upcoming books including how her therapy dog Boss has influenced her work and writing. Plus, how storytelling and picture books can be powerful tools for building empathy and social-emotional learning in any grade level.

In this episode, I'm joined by cognitive psychologist and ADHD expert Eliza Barach to explore the brain-based differences that drive many of the challenges (and strengths!) that come with ADHD. Together we cover: The neuroscience of an ADHD brain and why having this basic knowledge can be so impactful for your parenting! How understanding the roles of dopamine and norepinephrine are important aspects of understanding your child (or yourself!) with ADHD. Why people with ADHD are more vulnerable to all forms of addictions. And while our culture rewards some addictive behaviors (like workaholism) while condemning others, both can have negative impacts on your mental health. How to make transitions easier for your child with ADHD. (Want to learn more about this topic? Check out episode 295. How can I get my child with ADHD go from one activity to the next without a fight?) Specific and real-life strategies parents can implement to add more stimulation to boring tasks that will decrease the amount of fights and power struggles between you and your child. Why kids with ADHD are so prone to meltdowns and how pointing out the logic to your child in these hot moments can help lay the foundation for more self-regulation in the future. (But, only if you do so in the "right" way.) Activating your child's Task Positive Network can be regulating for the nervous system—what parents can do to get this part of your child's brain to turn on. The failing of the system for diagnosis of ADHD, especially in girls and marginalized communities, and why getting a diagnosis is so vital for allowing proper support for a person's unique strengths and challenges. If you've ever wondered whether your child might have ADHD, felt unsure how to support them without constant conflict, or simply wanted to better understand their needs, this episode is packed with clarity, compassion, and expert insights you can put into practice right away.

Are you caught in the loop of thinking you need to learn just a little more before you take action — or feeling totally stuck when it comes to choosing the right tools for your practice?In this full-length Feelings and Finances episode, I'm answering two powerful questions from therapists working through real-life challenges. Edgar, a Money Skills for Therapists grad, shares their story of moving from insurance to a successful cash-pay practice — and now wondering how to balance learning with doing, and how to stay grounded while being a self-advocate as a queer therapist of color. Rachel, who's new to private practice, opens up about the overwhelm of deciding which services are worth paying for — from billing support to HIPAA-compliant email tools — all while managing ADHD and a full client load. I dig into how to figure out the real emotional cost of certain business tasks, how to recognize when it's time to stop gathering information and start taking action, and how to make spending choices that truly fit your brain and your values. If you're wrestling with questions around growth, capacity, and trusting yourself in business, this episode is for you.For a full transcript of the episode and much more, check out the blog post on our website! https://moneynutsandbolts.com/?p=18099 To watch a video version of this, check it out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eQS6WN_JcBM Have a question for Linzy?

Joining us this week is returning guest Eric Endlich, Ph.D. Dr. Endlich is a clinical psychologist and founder of Top College Consultants®, which specializes in guiding neurodivergent students through the college application process. An advocate and expert in the field and a neurodivergent adult himself, he co-teaches a UC Irvine course for educational consultants, manages a large Facebook group for parents of neurodivergent students, and serves on advisory boards related to autism and neurodiversity. Dr. Endlich joins us this week to discuss the far too often overlooked challenges that neurodivergent students face when transitioning from high school to college. While gaining admission is one big challenge, the real challenge is succeeding once on campus, and Dr. Endlich sheds some light on some of the key differences between being college-capable and college-ready, highlighting the fact that students with learning and thinking differences are typically at much higher risk of not completing their degrees. We also explore some practical strategies to help students prepare for the increased independence and self-advocacy required in college life, with topics including building executive functioning skills in high school, the value of gap years, and how parents can gradually transition from being advocates to coaches. Dr. Endlich even talks about how to find the right college fit and make the most of on-campus resources, especially for students needing accommodations and support programs. Whether your teen is just starting high school or gearing up for college in the upcoming fall season, this episode of the podcast truly provides some practical insights into how to foster independence! Show Notes: [2:39] - Dr. Endlich asserts that too many students focus too much on getting into college rather than graduating from it. [4:43] - Success in college requires more than just academic capability; independence and self-management skills are also important. [6:36] - College demands greater self-organization and disability accommodation compared to high school. [8:57] - Dr. Endlich argues that parents should shift from advocating for their child to empowering their independence. [10:26] - Gradually transferring daily responsibilities helps students build independence before college. [13:02] - Taking a gap year can improve college preparedness and help prevent academic burnout. [15:10] - Dr. Endlich adds that gap years can strengthen a student's portfolio and develop valuable life skills. [18:02] - Consider the long-term value of a degree and explore financial aid options. [19:51] - Dr. Endlich points out how skill development can happen during high school, gap years, or throughout college. [22:44] - Even if colleges lack support, external programs can provide assistance and guidance. [25:26] - Visiting various colleges helps students identify their preferences and find the right fit. [28:09] - It's also important to make visits to dining halls and have meetings with support staff, helping to reveal the college's suitability. [31:02] - Even without campus visits, virtual tours and accepted-student events can also offer some valuable insights. [34:58] - Bridge programs help students acclimate to college life before the official start. [36:28] - Dr. Endlich states that carefully managing the application process and having backup plans can help reduce anxiety.

Hey Team! This week I'm talking with H.H. Rune, a Pacific Northwest-based author whose writing explores neurodivergence, identity, and rediscovering meaning in everyday life. Rune was diagnosed with ADHD at 52 after decades of feeling like she was just "bad at life"—something I know I've felt a lot of in my own journey. In our conversation today, we talk through the emotional processing of a late diagnosis—Rune describes it as going through the five stages of grief—and how she's reshaped her relationship with herself, her work, and the people around her. Rune also shares the evolution of her long-running book series and how ADHD both challenged and fueled her creative process. Listen to the Climbing the Walls podcast here! If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/225 YouTube Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. Avoid relying on memory, especially for creative ideas, and lean on tools like reminders, email, and structure to back up your attention. Don't trust your brain to remember and instead trust the systems you've set up. 2. Try celebrating your ADHD curiosity. Instead of shaming yourself for going down “random” thought paths, reframe your curiosity as a gift and use humor to engage others. 3. Getting a late diagnosis can require a lot of emotional processing. Rune describes going through the five stages of grief post-diagnosis, acknowledging that the loss of a "life that could have been" is real and valid.
