ADHD & BEing Misdiagnosed

Beyond Introspection: A Podcast About Neurodivergence & Identity

Pen and Harvey discuss the high rate of misdiagnosis for people with ADHD, including likely reasons for it and common comorbid conditions.
Note: Around the 38 minute mark, Harvey mentions & reclaims the r-slur. If that's something that makes you uncomfortable, go ahead and skip forward 40 seconds or so and you should be fine.
Featuring: Say "wahoo" in the fun voice; well-meaning clinicians can still be wrong; ADHD Is A Brain Condition, Not A Behavior Issue; When I say mood swings, I'm talking theme-park level here; Secondary diagnoses are real, but oof; We talk about dopamine again; A really bad take on autism from an article I wanted to like
