The ADHD Diagnosis Is Official* (*We Have Questions)

Julia is officially diagnosed with ADHD! …although after hearing what her actual ADHD assessment was like, Florence has some questions. Julia walks us through the bizarre, stressful and occasionally glitchy process of getting assessed for ADHD — from rapid-fire beeps and flashing letters to a Zoom call literally timing out in the middle of the test. We get into what finally pushed her to seek a diagnosis, emotional regulation, irritability, trying to understand what’s actually ADHD when your life has zero regularity, and what it feels like to finally have an official answer. Naturally, we also get wildly sidetracked into Succession, Fleabag, Gilmore Girls spoilers, burned Eminem CDs, whether the East River is actually a river, camping through Canada, maintaining a 22-year-old car, and the surprising empowerment of learning how to fix things yourself. Plus: why Donny is apparently the only thing standing between this podcast and complete technological collapse.
