This week we are giving some examples of ADHD and Pain Tolerance.
Some studies have suggested that individuals with ADHD might have a different perception of pain or respond to pain differently due to the neurological and cognitive differences associated with the disorder. For example, ADHD is characterized by difficulties in attention and impulse control, and these cognitive challenges could potentially affect how an individual perceives and responds to pain

This weeks episode was inspired by a TikTok video we saw. So we thought we'd jump on the mic to discuss some more hyer-fixations and share examples of how we are clearly driven by a motor and easily distracted.  You may find some of these examples resonate with you alot if you have ADHD.

This week we're talking about Seasonal depression (Seasonal Affective Disorder)and how it can impact a person with ADHD.
Research has shown that people with ADHD are more prone to having seasonal depression, so if you are feeling low in mood during the winter months and you have ADHD, this could be the reason why!

Seasonal changes can potentially exacerbate symptoms of ADHD in people who have both conditions, as reduced exposure to natural light can affect mood and energy levels, making it more challenging for individuals with ADHD to manage their symptoms effectively during the winter months.

Stick around till the end to hear some of Sparky's tips for managing seasonal depression. Hopefully they can help you this year to get through those winter blues!

This week we have a long awaited VERY SPECIAL guest! James Brown co- founder of https://www.adhdadult.uk/ and the ADHD Adults Podcast.

Because of ADHD it’s almost become impossible for us to put our (lack of) executive functioning skills to good use and get guests on the show. 
Sparky who was late for recording and as usual James had to deal with our unprofessional behaviour. 🙈 

We (finally) managed to get James and him on lots of off topic ADHD subjects (and ADHD subjects; including medication and if ADHD medication is safe, we discuss antidepressants and their negative side effects. Plus, James delves into some ADHD coaching and gives us both some amazing advice on how to cope with various situations. 
This is a very valuable episode. There’s lots of interrupting, interesting discussions, laughs and overall just a great conversation. We’re so grateful to James for his giving us his time and his valuable insight to to all things ADHD. 

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did 😀 Our ADHD guest bucket list is now complete  

Thanks for listening to us ramble!
