Hello, folks! It's me, Dustin Horvath, your host of ADHD in a HURRY! Today's episode focuses on the debate between independence and interdependence, what it means for people with ADHD, how to know which is "better" for you, and some insights from me.
I want you to also consider societal expectations that are placed on young ADHDers and how these experiences sometimes leave a lasting mark for us. Why we strive for independence might be in part from a trauma response to our upbringing!
Also, as you listen through this I want you to think about your support networks, how they work, how effective they are, and your role as the central figure.
