Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
I used to do my own literature reviews on ADHD research.. aka have 30+ open tabs with journal articles opened on my phone for every one I would read. It’s amazing to have thorough, thoughtful reviews available as a podcast. Thank you!!
Soared to my favorite neurodivergent podcast
I like a few ADHD and ASD podcasts but none clicked with me the way The ADHD Skills Lab does. The research-based approach (thank you!!!) combined with a supportive, accepting, friendly tone always gives this (very) late diagnosed ADHDer with ASD traits new information and, just as important, renewed confidence and hope for the future. Quality podcasting.
Inspiring and helpful!
Just finished listening to the first day’s episodes, and I am so excited for more! This show includes everything I could hope for in a podcast- great relatable stories, helpful advice, and data driven studies to provide more information/knowledge. Skye is a super lovely host who has a knack at having fun light hearted conversations packed with listener takeaways! Thank you for sharing this podcast with the world! :)
