The truth about ADHD and relationships

This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening.

This podcast is all about our experience with Callie's late ADHD diagnosis and the questions we have as we continue to navigate life. This podcast is in no way medical advice or intended to be used as a diagnostic tool.

Welcome to episode 17! Grab the popcorn! Today Callie and Lauchy go deep into some of the realities (and conflicts) within an ADHD relationship, where one person is neurotypical. There are some uncomfortable moments! But as always, they keep the commitment to honesty and not hiding the very real issues that can come up.

We love hearing about our listeners' experiences with ADHD, and we'd love to hear yours if you want to join us on the mics - drop us a DM (socials are at F them fish_ADHD for grownups) or an email ([email protected]).
