Adhd, Autism, and Understanding Neurodivergence - Dr. O

It seems like nowadays more and more people are identifying as ADHD and Autistic. Is it really that people used to not have ADHD? Are we just more educated now with more tools? Could our attention spans be decreasing. Is all of this a trauma response? How do you get tested, and how can you know if you really have ADHD? If you do have it, how do you manage it, when do you know you need medication, can you manage it with just lifestyle changes? It can be an overwhelming topic to handle - and with all the information being spread online, it gets so confusing. If you find that you can't manage your attention, or you want to find a way to support those in your life who are neurodivergent, this conversation is for you. We answer all of the questions YOU send in on this episode.
