    “Echoes, Algorithms & ADHD: Why Resonance Isn’t the Same as Truth

    🎧 Episode Summary In this no-holds-barred episode, Matt and Andrew dive deep into the ever-messy world of ADHD social media discourse—where misinformation spreads fast, nuance disappears, and personal opinion often drowns out evidence. They tackle some of the most hotly debated topics online: Should you take ADHD medication?Is AuDHD (autism + ADHD) really as common as social media suggests?Have women with ADHD really been “completely ignored” by research?Why does content that feels right get shared more than what is right?Matt shares why cold-water swimming works for him, Andrew explains the science behind medication and blood pressure, and both highlight the dangers of mistaking a viral reel for validated truth. This episode is a call to critical thinking, clinical literacy, and self-reflection. It’s not about taking sides—it’s about asking better questions. If you've ever been unsure who to believe online, or if you’ve felt lost in the sea of ADHD content, this one’s for you. 🧠 Key Takeaway: Don’t just ask “Does this resonate with me?”—ask “Where did this come from, and does it stand up to scrutiny?” Social media may serve as a mirror, but it shouldn’t replace a microscope. 🎧 Chapters: 00:00 Welcome 00:54 The way social media presents information about ADHD. 02:26 Stimulant Medication - Good or bad? 09:23 Do Meds "make you autistic?" 14:31 Is AuDHD a Neurotype or separate condition? 16:39 We still aren't sponsored! 17:30 The Role of Social Media in Perception 22:36 A brief look at Women and ADHD 26:08 When affintity is confused with our personal experience 28:48 The Complexity of Individual Experiences 30:41 Look for information that helps you make sense of you 33:44 What has a Church bell got to do with Social media? 37:30 Navigating Misinformation and Seeking Truth 🔗 Links: Divergence Clinic: https://www.divergenceuk.org Download the divergenceADHD app: App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/divergenceadhd/id6743006969 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=branded.md643cc45cd8141f0992f4d1cbdf919f2.divergence&pli=1 ThinkNeurodiversity: https://www.thinkneurodiversity.co.uk Oh That's Why - Late Diagnosed course: https://calendly.com/thinkneurodiversity/oh-thats-why-late-diagnosed-course-12-september-start Hosted on Acast.
