Friends! We need them, love them, miss them when they leave, but also have a tough time making them.  But is it really harder to make lasting friends if you have ADHD? or easier? And we try to figure out what the classes of the Friends would be. Except for Ross, because he's insufferable.

We—well, Matt—loves productivity. Thinking about it, talking about it, wasting time trying to get better at it. And while he could definitely do better about following his own advice about not constantly trying new tools and tweaking the ones he has, maybe today’s podcast might be helpful for someone looking for a possibly-ADHD friendly tool or tip?

We do a quick run-down of topics we've been meaning to touch on! Dating with ADHD, dealing damage to yourself for no great reason, and is it: "attention deficit/hyperactive _disability_"?

ADHd20's VERY FIRST GUEST Alejandro Tey is an incredible Game Master, actor, teaching artist, director, storyteller, self-proclaimed participatory theater addict, and lucky for us, our very good friend. You've heard us discuss Tey and the Tabletale Games crew countless times already so we figured: why not plop him in front of a mic and let him dazzle you, too?

Yep. There is a Scottish-themed castle in Knoxville, TN. You can go stay there! We did, and tried very hard not to leave the confines of it's dungeon-like interior for four solid days, playing only D&D and eating strangely healthy snacks. Though we did sort of get to the bottom of "which Oreo is baseline?". A magical time in a magical place, a perfect birthday celebrations.

Matt loves all new things, often to a fault; Alison needs some coercing to find the things that she loves sometimes. But both of them want everyone, ADHD or no, to do their best to not fall behind on life's new things: closed minds can cause heartbreak! Matt then admits that he needs a little help from his friends sometimes to get stuff done—call it pairing, body-doubling, or anchoring, it's amazing for people with executive disfunction. But we leave the triads for playing music.

Also: why did we get into D&D, exactly?

Matt and Alison agree that life is not all butterflies and rainbows, and yet somehow manage a sunny-side conversation spanning funerals, pandemics, and reconciling their perceived extroversion.
