July 22, 2021 17:41 - 3 minutes - 2.85 MBIn this short but sweet (and a touch befuddled on what day it is) minisode, Robbie talks about an audio project she created that invites people into her inner soundscapes. As a person who is deaf in the left ear and with diminished hearing capacity in the right ear, she experiences the world in a much different way than a person with access to full sound. So she made an audio story about it. Go figure, ADHD brain wants to do things that aren't supposed to be on the menu for hard of hearing...

Porous Boundaries & Personality Fluidity - Episode 16
May 19, 2021 06:00 - 56 minutes - 129 MBThis week, Robbie and Jordan chat about the unique ways in which ADHD makes us socialize differently from other people. As empathetic people, people with porous boundaries, people who are good at "fitting in" through mirroring and other adaptive behaviours, it can be easier for us to get along with others and make friends. But getting so much of your sense of worth from others can leave us feeling unmoored and anchorless when alone, unsure how we're "supposed" to behave absent another's lead...
What's In A Name? Person-First Language - Episode 15
May 12, 2021 19:26 - 1 hour - 149 MBA lot has changed in the way we talk about health over the last 40 years. Including the terminology around disability. Person-first language entered the popular lexicon in the early 1980s, when AIDS activists in Denver rightfully advocated for terms that centered their humanity and not victimhood. But other groups, including Deaf and Blind advocates, felt that PFL terms were ableist, emphasizing personhood over disability, when those disabilities are integral to their experience of the wor...

As a result, it can be hard to communicate the impacts of living with ADHD because it's a matter of degrees; most people have similar experiences as part of their daily life and cope with them just fine. Until I got my first and only migraine, I understood them as A Headache. I've had headaches, they sucked, but I coped. But the experience of being blind with p...
