199. The Highly Sensitive ADHDer - Neurodivergence in Quiet Leaders
Manage episode 352334043 series 1091615
This is for you if you’re neurodivergent, suspect you are, love someone who is, or are simply ADHD-curious.
For years, I suspected I was neurodivergent, that my brain worked differently than others. BUT I thought of ADHDers as bold, rash, outspoken and disorganized risk takers with overflowing energy. I, on the other hand, was a careful, shy, sensitive overthinker who ran out of steam by the afternoon.
It didn’t seem possible to match up the view I had of ADHD with how I saw myself as an HSP (highly sensitive person). Until I read about masking.
Kat and I talk about:
- Busting the ADHD stereotype with quiet, sensitive women
- Our own ADHD & HSP stories
- The impact of being undiagnosed for decades
- Unconsciously masking, being highly sensitive & our voices
