Do We Really Need “Gay ADHD”?

What this episode covers

The internet has done it again — and this time it’s “Gay ADHD.”But is this a real subcategory… or just another example of online culture turning identity into personality?In this episode of Wilko & Courts, we unpack the rise of self-diagnosis, TikTok psychology, and why labels like Gay ADHD might say more about the algorithm than actual mental health.From masking, internalised homophobia, and humour as survival — to why not everything needs a new name — this is a nuanced, honest (and funny) conversation about how the internet frames identity, neurodiversity, and belonging.✨ We’re not doctors. We’re not diagnosing.We’re just asking the question everyone’s thinking.👇 Let us know in the comments — helpful label or unnecessary internet nonsense?00:00 – Welcome to Wilko & Courts00:45 – ADHD, self-diagnosis & the algorithm02:30 – “Gay ADHD” appears… wait, what?04:10 – Why everything is a diagnosis online06:00 – Does sexuality need sub-categories?07:30 – Gay identity, humour & masking10:00 – When labels become personality12:45 – Why this term doesn’t sit right14:30 – Final thoughts: do we need this?#WilkoAndCourts #GayADHD #ADHDDiscourse #InternetCulture #PodcastAustralia#Neurodiversity #LGBTQTalk #TikTokPsychology #PopCulturePodcast#SelfDiagnosis #IdentityOnline
