Ask me a question!
When you’ve got ADHD you’ve often got a lot of questions and I’m here to help - if you’d like to have a question you’d like me to answer find a quiet place and record a question about the most recent episode. If I can, I’ll answer it on the air. Thanks for listening.
The tool I use to record questions works with the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox on Android devices. iOS devices only support recording audio through Safari or you can download the SpeakPipe iOS app
*Just a note, I won’t be covering questions about medication. This isn’t because I don’t think medication is effective, it’s just because for nearly all questions I’m going to be giving you the same answer every time, which is, go ask your doctor. I am not a doctor.

Hi, I’m William Curb. After learning more about how my ADHD affects many aspects of my life, I decided to start a podcast to help other ADHDers. Let’s hack our way to better brains, together!

We often talk about the "internal" struggles of ADHD, the messy desks and the forgotten appointments, but we don't always talk about how the outside world reacts to those traits. I’m joined by Brooke Schnittman, an ADHD coach and the best-selling author of Activate Your ADHD Potential. Brooke has worked with thousands of individuals to help them develop sustainable systems for focus and emotional regulation, but today, she’s here to talk about a global study she conducted on the link between ADHD and bullying.
So in today’s episode, we’re talking about how this study was conducted and what we can garner from that data. We also discuss the "invisible disability" penalty, where our symptoms are misinterpreted as character flaws, and how "masking" can actually prevent us from progressing because we’re too busy being chameleons. And we also cover some practical ways to identify safe people and build a "reciprocal" support system that helps buffer against the impact of chronic criticism.
