from It’s just AuDHD Hosted by John Blanco-Slingerland, Tarah Peltz

Let's look into our (science powered) crystal ball and bring you a glimpse of your future! What will you see? Revolutionary changes, or more of the same? To kick off this episode, we recap a few highlights (and lowlights) for AuDHDers in 2024, including rising diagnosis rates, changes to the DSM (or lack thereof), and medication shortages. Then, we chat about our predictions for 2025, including potential genetic-based subtypes of ADHD and autism, the necessity of a separate branch of medicine for neurodivergent individuals, and the importance of regulation in ADHD coaching. Join us as we dive deep into the science, challenges, and future possibilities for living with AuDHD.
