ADHD AF TITBIT: Neuro-queer! Dating & Allyship with CJ Debarra


Listen Later

It's TITBIT 2! I just about managed to cram 40minutes of GOLD from CJ Debarra into this 10(ish)minute micro-interview with the LEGENDARY Author of Neuro-Queer: A Neurodivergent Guide to Love, Sex and Everything Inbetween.

Masking is something so many of us experience. CJ lived a lot of their life behind three different masks until coming out as Queer and Non Binary, and really exploring their Neurodivergence in their 30s.  Growing up in West Cork, Ireland, CJ knew they were ADHD, but its implications remained mysterious. In their book CJ fearlessly explores the raw realities of heartbreak, love, and sexuality, and the complexities of desire, the impact of distractions during intimacy, the role of dopamine, and the allure of unconventional sexual experiences. CJ sheds light on alarmingly low diagnosis rates for women, transgender individuals, and non-binary individuals, urging readers to advocate for improved healthcare. THAT'S A LOT TO CRAM INTO TEN MINUTES HEY! Which is why in this TITBIT we focus on Neuro-Queer Allyship and Neurodivergent Dating; in particular dating safety for ADHDers. Particularly those of us that either don't see those warning flags, or mistrust our judgement, so wait for them to turn a particular shade of red!
It was an absolute joy to speak to this Leopard Print LEGEND! MASSIVE THANKS to CJ for sharing so many pearls of wisdom and for all of their amazing work!
