Angry On The Inside - ADHD Women Talking Late Diagnosis

S1 E14 ADHD After Dark: Trick or Treat, ADHD Women Unmasked


Listen Later

It’s Halloween, the dopamine’s high, and the masks are off, literally and figuratively for ADHD women.

In this bonus “After Dark” episode, Jess and Jeannine get unmasked about ADHD, dopamine, chaos, and why Halloween feels like home for neurodivergent brains.

From glow-stick jokes and dirty puns to executive dysfunction and dopamine hits, this episode celebrates the freedom, laughter, and chaos that come when the masks finally drop. It’s explicit, ridiculous, and weirdly validating exactly how AOI does Halloween.

If you’re a late-diagnosed ADHD woman who’s ever loved the ritual, the chaos, or the permission to be someone else for a night, this one’s for you.

    In this episode
  • Why ADHD women love Halloween (and what dopamine has to do with it)

  • Masking, unmasking, and the joy of pretending

  • Chaos, costumes, and permission to be loud

  • The AOI kind of “After Dark” unfiltered, funny, and a little filthy
