What if ADHD isn’t a fixed disorder but a response to a world that just isn’t built for our brains?

In this episode, I unpack what happened when I went back on Adderall after two years off and why it didn’t hit the same. I open up about the pressure to “function” post-job loss, and the unexpected emotional spiral that followed.

Then I dive into the recent New York Times article, “Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong?” and how it challenged the way I see ADHD not just in myself, but in my son too. We talk medication, masking, Minecraft meltdowns, and what it really means to create a safe environment for neurodivergent kids (and adults) to thrive.
