In this podcast excerpt, Speaker A emphasizes the importance of a supportive ADHD community for accountability, noting that such groups provide non‑judgmental, shame‑free environments where members can share struggles openly. A personal anecdote is shared about starting a new medication, which caused a temporary mental fog that made it hard to think during a mastermind call, leading to laughter and empathy from fellow ADHD participants. Speaker B humorously comments on the situation, highlighting the shared understanding within the community. The exchange underscores how ADHD individuals benefit from peer support and how neurotypical observers might misinterpret these experiences.

Chapters

You have to have community and, and it's community brings accountability. When you're ADHD, having a community that is one, also ADHD, so that anything you say is at most a giggle. There's no judgment. There's no criticism. There's no shame ever. It's huge. I remember saying this a few months ago. I was on a new medication. I'm running a mastermind call. Excuse me, I'm having a hard time thinking today cuz none of the voices in my head are working. And it took us 10 minutes to get back on track cuz everybody was laughing so hard because everybody got it. They're like, Oh my gosh, I hate when that happens. You know, it was just, I couldn't think because my head was quiet. You say that to a neurotypical person and they're committing you.
That's a grippy song vacation right there.
