In this episode, I decided to confront a big giant podcast that I'm seeing clips of that promotes the myth of 'girl ADHD' and 'boy ADHD'. What do presentations of ADHD mean?
We mostly talk about inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive, and combined presentations - what do they look and feel like?
The episode provides insights into how ADHD presentations can influence daily life and offers strategies to manage each type, such as mindfulness and external reminders for inattentive ADHD, and regular exercise and focused hobbies for hyperactive and impulsive ADHD.
**Fantastic bonus: a downloadable quiz and information PDF that will help you determine what your presentation of ADHD is likely to be and has some strategies for you to play with!**
