All The Things ADHD

Hey everyone, it’s been a year for your favorite neurodivergent academic podcasters. Aimée and I did manage to get together and record one last episode for 2022. It’s about all the things we are grateful for, and we decided to release it on the longest night of the year (for those of us in the… Read more S5 E6: A Winter Solstice Gift

Ahem. We’re back. It’s been…all entirely too much. We talk about how we are trying to reframe everything that has been happening to us and how we are reacting to it. But 2022 can still suck it. Seriously. Fuck this year. We appreciate you all for sticking with us. <3 Transcript.

In this episode, both Aimée and I share our breakdowns. There are too many things. We’ve lost many (most? all?) of our spoons. My internet even had had enough while we were recording, so apologies if Aimée is garbled at times. As I said in the show, you’re lucky you’re getting this episode at all;… Read more S5 E4: THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS

So, it’s Friday and Monday was a holiday so I lost track of what day it was and never edited and uploaded the episode. I spent all my time working on that segue (and I literally had to google how to spell that word and not at all what I was expecting) that I didn’t… Read more S5 E3: The One Where Lee Segues from Lumpy Pumpkins to Beauty

Welcome back after a three-week hiatus! We sure put the amateur in amateur podcasters! This week, it’s about sleep and how neurodivergent people tend to put off going to sleep even when we’re exhausted as some kind of revenge. The technical term has “revenge” and “bedtime” and “procrastination” in it, maybe in that order, but… Read more S5 E2: Revenge is a Dish Best Served to Yourself When You’re Exhausted?

We’re back for Season Five! How did our Summer of Self-Acceptance go? Both really well and HORRIBLY. We have regrets. But at least we can laugh about it. And remember, it’s not catastrophizing if it’s actually a catastrophe! Transcript where we swear less than usual. Shockingly.

Or taking a vacation from being so hard on yourself. It’s Friday the 13th (which we didn’t plan) and we’re releasing our 71st episode, which is an odd number to note, and also it’s our Season 4 finale! HOORAY! In this episode, Aimée declares that this should be a Summer of Self-Acceptance, so we talk… Read more S4 E27: The Summer Of Self-Acceptance

So, I’m going to put a big, ol’ content warning on the top of this one. We talk about how the medical system and the individuals acting in it are ableist and ageist and sexist AF (among other things) and we share how we suffer the consequences. Aimée bravely shares her recent experience, and we… Read more S4 E26: YOU NEED TO DO A LOT F’ING BETTER, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Elon Musk bought Twitter. This is where Aimée and I have all of our friends. We talk about why Twitter is such a great place for us to make and sustain friendships, and why we are perceived as being terrible friends when we’re not on Twitter. Come to commiserate, share with your friends and loved… Read more S4 E25: Friendship is Magic when you have Assistive Devices like Twitter

In this episode, Aimée and I discuss what it’s like to be bored when you’re neurodivergent. And, spoiler alert, it happens A LOT and when it does, we have a physical reaction that can end up making us look like assholes. Not just look like, but actually we are being a bit of an asshole.… Read more S4 E24: Boredom, or We Can Be Such A-Holes Sometimes
