I’m learning sooo much from this podcast as someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult! The scientific information and practical strategies are both really helpful. I do agree with other reviews I’ve seen about the poor audio quality, though. It can make it really hard to listen to because the audio on some of them is so tinny.

The amount of times overeating, weight gain and obesity is mentioned is absurd. People struggling with ADHD and sleep are having an extremely difficult time with so many other things, and we shouldn’t be focused on lack of sleep causing overeating. Why are we so obsessed with weight? I need help a with sleep so that I can do my job, focus, do hobbies that I love, regulate my emotions, walk my dog, etc, etc. Overeating should not the focus here.

Most of the podcasts just go on and on, giving examples, but provide very little useful information… Maybe 5 minutes hidden in 60 minutes of blabbering Yes I already know what a bummer it is to have ADHD. I don’t need to hear all the personal, detailed stories of their clients. For goodness sakes, we have ADD, don’t bore us to death by repeating the obvious I need some tips, guidelines etc….

I typically enjoy listening to the podcast, but the political ad at the beginning of today’s episode was a focus killer.

Sorry but my ADHD can’t do the horrible audio and painfully dry delivery even if the content might be great. Couldn’t tell you because it’s just that bad.

It’s weird how this woman keeps urging for us to find someone to help us but always relegated to recommending “coaches” but never mentioned therapists. I’m sorry but as a client, I’d rather rely on a therapist than someone as dubious as a “life coach”. Heavy peddling of these sham services. Also, delegating is not helpful advice when someone lives alone and has no disposable income and anyone with others around to delegate tasks to would already be doing that before listening to this episode.

some of these guests are basically calling adhd kids lazy, feckless, obstinate, disobedient, and telling parents how to control behavior rather than modify their own expectations and offer intelligent, effective, support. It's just a bad vibe. 😑 run away. the clinical "we're experts" tone threw me off, but i suspect this podcast may be ableist and toxic

I love the content of Additude, and I read many of the articles and posts on the website and have downloaded lots of materials. I even used to have the subscription. Um, talking bout ADHD friendly though (mentioned in the podcast episodes)… I was so excited to listen to this podcast. But the audio of the recording of the person introducing the podcast has high amounts of echoes and the high end frequency is extremely loud in order to have the podcast set loud enough for me to hear it. The guest speakers also have bad audio (however they do not echo like the introducer). Even if you don’t have good recording equipment, you can edit the audios highs and lows and remove echoes and other distracting bits!!! I’m absolutely unable to listen to this podcast because of how bad the audio is. Considering your targeted audience, I’m surprised the audio is so bad. Echoes and high frequency treble in the audio. It hurts my ears.

I have been mislabeled my entire life. Never really understanding my own self. Ep 281 is my favorite, but as a teacher of students with ADHD, parent of one ADHD and one regular child, and a carrier of ADHD myself, this entire show is absolutely enlightening!!! So much to understand and so much information given. Love it!!!

Some of these episodes contradict other episodes. I am not even sure how to help my daughter because one episode says one thing and another episode say absolutely do not do this. I’m actually really bummed. Because I finally felt like I was learning. But now I’m more confused. Don’t comfort the children and give them no accommodation? This is the worst advice I’ve ever heard to “help” children with anxiety.
