Episode notes
Can you really be too smart to have ADHD? In this episode of ADHD Eavesdrop, I’m joined by my daughter Savannah for an honest and funny conversation about one of the most persistent ADHD myths — that good grades or high intelligence rule out an ADHD diagnosis.
We dive into:
- Masking in school
- High-functioning ADHD
- Perfectionism and burnout
- Executive dysfunction
- Rejection sensitivity (RSD)
- Growing up undiagnosed
- Grieving the “perfect” version of ourselves
Whether you’re an adult with ADHD, a parent, a professional, or just curious about how ADHD can show up behind the scenes, this episode will hit home.
