Show Notes
Forgotten subscriptions, late fees, food rotting in the fridge, buying things you already own, and paying $40 for takeaway because cooking feels like an Olympic sport - those are just a few examples of the colloquial ADHD tax - all the extra money we end up spending because our brains work a little differently.
In this episode, we unpack the financial consequences of ADHD, from impulsive purchases and procrastination to time blindness, executive dysfunction and the cost of convenience.
We share our own ADHD tax moments, explore the shame that can come with money struggles, and also share your ADHD experiences (join our Reddit to be part of the conversation!)

More from WTF is AuDHD?
Money is hard for everyone, but add ADHD and autism into the mix and it can feel like being thrown around a washing machine.
In this week’s episode, we start with a listener who posted in our Reddit about their vivid dreams. We chat about dreams and our relationship with them - before getting into our main topic: self-talk before and after diagnosis, and why it matters.
In this episode, we go back in time and try to remember what our childhood bedrooms looked like - and what they might have been showing us in hindsight!
Paige was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome as a child, and we've never really heard her share her story on this podcast. So we thought it'd be a great time to learn a little bit more about Tourette's in this episode! We bust some myths and stereotypes, learn more about what a 'tic' actually is, what they feel like and whether they can be suppressed, what treatments are available and we hear from Paige about her lived experience and the mental and physical cost Tourette's has had on her. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Trigger warning: this episode talks about self harm, as well as somber chats with regard to loss and grief that could be upsetting for some.
