Episode #025: In this special AAPI Heritage Month episode of Don't Mind Me, I’m Different, host Ron Souers — your ADHD guy — explores how ADHD uniquely affects the Asian American experience. From the crushing weight of the model minority myth to the mental health stigma made worse by COVID-19, this episode brings empathy, education, and honesty to a conversation we need to be having.
You'll hear:

A brief celebration of Asian American contributions to U.S. history
How ADHD often hides behind "excellence" in Asian culture
The deep-rooted stigma around mental health, and how we break it
Real talk on COVID-fueled racism and the mental toll it brought
A call to rewrite the narrative — with compassion and cultural courage

Whether you're neurodivergent, part of the AAPI community, or just want to be a better ally — this episode is your invitation to listen, reflect, and connect.
