28 Gaming With ADHD

What is it about video games that lights up the brains of neurodiverse people, specifically those with ADHD?

This week we have a very personal conversation about growing up with brains that demand more from your average media, and how games have expanded in ways that bring comfort (and fixation!) to those of us who have a hard time when bored. We also discuss how laser-focused enthusiasm has developed into an entire industry in the Internet Age, making it an extraordinary time to be neurodiverse.

Also, wise words (and poetry?) for when our brains fixate on the wrong kind of stuff.
