On ADHD

Our hosts get personal with their lived experiences with ADHD.

Its a very candid discussion on how ADHD impacts their lives, the accommodations that help them thrive and the politics behind preventing us from realizing more inclusive spaces for neurodivergent folks.

The episode was largely left uncut to better demonstrate some of the very characteristics people associate with ADHD, but also to challenge the misconceptions that are out there.

Speaker:

Hello fam, last week we posted up our 150th episode of Blueprints of Disruption. It was

Speaker:

a good one by the way, it featured Bruno talking about tenant unions and their victories. But

Speaker:

I've learned a lot from every single one of those recordings, and this one is no exception

Speaker:

even though it is not our typical content. Santiago and I wanted to do a recording on ADHD and

Speaker:

how it impacts us, the team creating the content that you keep supporting. To better paint the

Speaker:

picture, we left in some very candid and personal moments, including our pre-recording banter

Speaker:

back and forth, which is why in a moment, you're gonna just stumble right into a conversation

Speaker:

about caffeine intake. We left these little moments in to help you better understand ADHD,

Speaker:

specifically how it manifests in us.

Speaker:

We left these little moments in not only because they help explain how ADHD manifests specifically

Speaker:

in us, but it gets to-

Speaker:

We left these little moments in to help the audience better understand ADHD, but also to

Speaker:

get to know us a little bit better. We also want to be open and honest in saying that we

Speaker:

were dropping this pre-recorded discussion at a time when both Santiago and I are struggling

Speaker:

in ways that I think will make sense after you listen. Some may even recognize themselves

Speaker:

in our stories. Others may gain perspective on how to better accommodate neurodivergence

Speaker:

in their circles. Whatever your takeaway is.

Speaker:

Whatever your takeaway is, be sure to share it with us. That being said, we jump right

Speaker:

into our conversation on ADHD.
