The Neurodivergent Nurse

Why ADHD Makes You a Human Lie Detector (or So You Think)


Listen Later

Have you ever known someone wasn’t telling you the whole truth? Maybe it was the way they hesitated, their tone of voice, or just a gut feeling you couldn’t shake. If you’re an ADHDer, this probably happens more often than you’d like to admit. In this episode of The Neurodivergent Nurse Podcast, we’re diving into why ADHD brains are wired to pick up on subtle cues—and why that makes us feel like human lie detectors.

We’ll explore:

  • The science behind ADHD intuition and emotional sensitivity.
  • How our heightened awareness can make us masters of connection—or lead to overthinking spirals.
  • The moments when we nail it... and the times we’re way off base.
  • Practical strategies for trusting your gut without letting it run the show.
  • Whether you’ve embraced your ADHD superpowers or struggled with feeling “too much,” this episode will help you understand and navigate one of the most unique (and occasionally frustrating) aspects of the ADHD experience. Tune in and discover how to make your intuition work for you, not against you!
