All The Things ADHD All The Things ADHD

Aimée was name-dropped in a new Taylor Swift song, but that isn’t actually what the episode is about.

What it is about is thinking (quickly! This is our shortest episode that isn’t just me addressing you and wishing you a sappy new year!) about the difference between reading a book, taking hand-written notes, and what we can learn about materiality and embodiment even though we don’t actually say those two words.

Shortest episode, longest sentence? Maybe!

Transcript!

I swear, it’s only been a few days, and I completely forgot what we talked about for this episode. Finally, Otter.ai Insights proved useful to remind me what happened.

We’ve talked about Spring Fever before, almost exactly two years ago. What’s changed? Well, we’re actually a little but better-adjusted and more attuned to how the changing of the seasons impacts us, but also what our potholes towards the road to…not driving ourselves insane are.

Following?

This is also where we recommend that good enough is often good enough. Even better than good enough. Perfectly fine. Just like these podcasts.

Transcript!

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse!

Look, it’s Friday afternoon, GarageBand was being weird, I’ve done nothing but tedious tasks today, and it’s been a stressful week for me, personally.

(Everyone is fine, it’s all fine, we’re all fine.)

And I have a bad case of the Jebruaries.

Anyway, I have clearly gone on four new side-quests, but this is the second part of our conversation, and I even tease a new topic that I am dying to talk about at the end.

Transcript!

The title is a mouthful. The podcast actually has some structure, with a build in cut point for part two that doesn’t involve me going incoherent.

We have talked a great length about how advice meant for neurotypical people just doesn’t work for us, but how do you go about figuring out what DOES work for you and then making note of it so that you can have your own, personal self-help guide to share with yourself and even others?

Oh, and here is the article that inspired Aimée in all this.

Transcript, where I swear we never, EVER mean crypto, but that Otter.ai.

This was supposed to be what the last episode was about, but we took WAY too long to get here (and I am desperately trying to find where Aimée finally says it in the episode, but then gave up and just said it in the intro I recorded). Crip knowledge. Learn from it!

Transcript (where it is called crib knowledge!).

Well, this episode went so far off the rails that it had to be two episodes. Aimée tells the MOST AIMÉE STORY EVER, and we think about how all the things that we were told that were wrong with us maybe weren’t so wrong after all?

And, again, sorry if we ignored you on Instagram.

Transcript, which AI has yet to be able to figure out really what we’re saying.
