Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD) Part 2 with How to ADHD, Black Girl Lost Keys, Jahla Osborne + more

René Brooks of Black Girl Lost Keys, Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD, and Jahla Osborne of University of Michigan

Did Part 1 (with Dr. Russell Barkley) leave you informed and now you need a pep talk? Get ready for an absolute banger of an episode with 3 experts: René Brooks of BlackGirlLostKeys.com, TEDTalk speaker and How to ADHD YouTuber Jessica McCabe, and neuroscientist Jahla Osborne of University of Michigan. What is it like to get diagnosed? How do you know which medication – if any – is right for you? Why is there such a spike in ADHD diagnoses during the pandemic? Autism and ADHD: what’s the deal? What accommodations should a person ask for? How can you have a strong relationship with one (or more) ADHD brains? What if your boyfriend juggles flaming swords for fun? Sure there are tips and tricks, but get ready for the pep talk and self-acceptance honestly everyone needs to hear. Plus: two cameos from past Ologists: Dr. Tiara Moore (Forensic Ecology) and Dr. Adam Becker (Quantum Ontology). Oh, and how this relates to Alie’s own Dadbrain. HERE WE GO.
