“So, when are you having kids?” ADHD and deciding on parenthood
One of the most inevitable questions that comes with early adulthood is also one of the most fraught: “When are you having kids?”
The question is loaded with assumptions and pressure. It also seems to ignore the fact that having kids is supposed to be a choice, not a requirement.
For neurodivergent people, especially those with ADHD, deciding whether to become a parent can be even more complex.
On this episode of “Hyperfocus with Rae Jacobson,” we talk with author and editorial director Jordan Davidson. She’s interviewed hundreds of people about their decision on whether to become a parent.
