Welcome back to ADHDville... the show where we talk about the real, messy, and often overlooked struggles of living with ADHD. Today? We're tackling one of the ultimate ADHD kryptonites: paperwork. You know the drill. That stack of forms on your desk that's been there for… mos. The bill you swore you paid but now has a late fee. The permission slip for your kid that somehow vanished into the void. For neurotypical people, paperwork is a chore. For ADHD brains? It's a special kind of torture... a mix of boredom, overwhelm, and the sneaky fear that you'll mess it all up. So why does ADHD make paperwork feel impossible? And how can we hack our brains to get through it without the shame spiral? We're breaking it all down today. Let's dive in.

Welcome back to ADHDville, where distractions are landmarks and the details are the main roads! This week, we're diving into a wild and unexpected topic: ADHD and cults. Why? Because when you've got a brain that craves novelty, structure, and belonging, cults—or at least cult-like dynamics—can sometimes feel weirdly tempting. From authoritarian leaders to dopamine-fueled devotion, we'll explore why neurodivergent minds might be both susceptible to cults and the first to spot the red flags and bail. Plus, we'll share our own bizarre cult-adjacent experiences (including plastic cups, graveyard confessions, and a surprise cameo from P. Diddy's producer). So grab your barley coffee or green tea—we're heading into the bunker for this one. Let's go!
