The Identity Reckoning (and Why It Feels So Disorienting) The reckoning arrives differently for everyone. For some women, it comes with a diagnosis—the moment when the story of your whole life suddenly reorganizes itself and you think, right… that’s what was happening. Which is both deeply satisfying and slightly offensive, considering how long it took. […]
A conversation with Fiona Kernan, author of Unseen Battles: The Social And Emotional Challenges of ADHD (for purchase here) There is a particular kind of irony that only ADHD can produce. Fiona Kernan spent three decades in classrooms across Australia — teaching, researching, advocating fiercely for students whose brains worked differently. She became one of […]

One reason I don’t discuss is that the testing for ADHD was […]
There’s a particular kind of woman I keep meeting lately. She’s perceptive. Creative. Highly self-aware. The kind of person who notices emotional nuance before a word is spoken. She may have ADHD — or may only now be discovering she does — and somewhere along the way she found herself in a relationship dynamic that […]
