ADHD or life? - A couples perspective!
Is it ADHD or a Fad? Attention Seeking? Let’s Talk Stigma 🎙️
This week, we’re diving into a more serious and thought-provoking topic: the stigma surrounding ADHD. The episode kicks off with Donna surprising Adam with a gift, but things take a reflective turn as we unpack some harsh comments we received on a recent social media post about ADHD. These reactions got us thinking—what do people with ADHD really face daily?
We candidly explore questions like:
Is ADHD just bad behaviour, laziness, or even “spoilt child syndrome”? Why is there extra stigma for those diagnosed later in life? Is ADHD a disorder, a difference, or even a gift—but definitely not a superpower?
We also address the common phrase, "Everyone is a little ADHD," and why it can be so dismissive and harmful.
Donna shares her unique perspective, and together we reflect on how we once held some of these same misconceptions. Plus, we tackle the hot topic of whether ADHD medication should be more accessible.
Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without our signature segments! This week’s 5-minute moan hilariously involves nappies (yes, really!), and we share some amazing good, bad, and ugly listener stories that you won’t want to miss.
