Hello, October! 💜 ADHD Awareness Month is here.

I’d love to see more curiosity, more understanding, and more room for the different ways ADHD shows up in our lives.

Let’s start a conversation: what’s one thing you wish people understood about your experience with ADHD?

Why can it be so hard to let go of our stuff when we have ADHD?

“I might need it someday.”
“I could sell it.”
“Someone gave this to me.”
“What if I forget the memory if I let go of the object?”

In the newest episode of ADHDtime on Air, I talk with Jami Shapiro about ADHD, our relationship with our belongings, and what happens as we get older.

We talk about decision paralysis, emotional attachment, memory, guilt, “someday” thinking, and why Jami prefers the idea of right-sizing rather than downsizing.

But this conversation goes beyond clutter. We also talk about ADHD and aging, planning for life transitions, and creating systems that work for the person you are today while taking care of your future self.

I was so happy to join Brandon Ward on the Test Kitchen podcast!

We talked about ADHD, prospective memory, working memory, forgetting names, missed appointments, laundry that never quite reaches the dryer, and the gap between intending to do something and actually doing it.

I also shared some of my personal journey with dyslexia, my ADHD diagnosis, and how I found my way into memory research.

Thank you, Brandon, for such a thoughtful and engaging conversation.

ADHD looks different in women, and too many women are still overlooked, misunderstood, or diagnosed later in life.

In the newest episode of ADHDtime on Air, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, an award-winning clinical psychologist, author, and longtime leader in the field of ADHD in girls and women.

We discussed why girls and women often go unnoticed, the enormous effort that can go into masking and compensating, and why meaningful ADHD support must look beyond a checklist of symptoms.

Our conversation also explores:

• How our environment can intensify or reduce ADHD-related challenges
• Practical ways to simplify daily life
• Why treatment should focus on quality of life
• The importance of movement, connection, and community
• The need for better professional training in ADHD across the lifespan

We also talked about her new book, A Clinician’s Guide to ADHD in Women: Diagnosis and Treatment, written with Patricia Quinn, MD, and Michael Morse, MD.

Thank you, Dr. Nadeau, for sharing your experience, wisdom, and important work with the ADHDtime on Air community.

There is something so exciting about seeing a book you’ve been talking about actually on the bookstore shelf! 📚💜

I listened to The ADHD Field Guide for Adults by Cate Osborn and Erik Gude as an audiobook, so of course I had to stop and take a picture when I spotted it in person.

And the timing couldn’t be better. Today at 4:00 PM PT, we’re discussing The ADHD Field Guide for Adults at the ADHDtime Book Club. I’m looking forward to hearing what everyone thought about the book and what resonated with them.

I also had the pleasure of talking with Cate Osborn about the book on ADHDtime on Air, so if you’d like to hear more from Cate, check out our conversation too.

ADHD community matters.

Community does not replace diagnosis, treatment, coaching, or other professional support. But it can offer something equally meaningful: the experience of being seen, understood, and reminded that we are not navigating ADHD alone.

In the newest episode of ADHDtime on Air, I talk with my friend and colleague Suzanne Sophos, CMPSS, president of CHADD’s national board of directors and founder of The BRAVE Space.

We discuss why peer support matters, finding belonging after an ADHD or autism diagnosis, Suzanne’s experience as an AuDHD adult, and the importance of understanding ourselves before trying to build systems that fit our lives.

We also explore authentic neurodivergent representation, what social media gets right and wrong about ADHD, and why advocacy and education are still so necessary.

Thank you💜 Suzanne, for sharing your experiences, insight, and commitment to building spaces where neurodivergent people can feel understood and connected.
