Show Notes
Think your ADHD is chaotic? Try putting a mom and a teenager in a head-to-head ADHD showdown. In this game show style episode I pull my daughter Harley into a rapid-fire challenge to find out who is more ADHD. We compare losing phones, forgetting why we walked into rooms, impulse spending, hyperfocus quirks, and more. Between the laughs we talk about why ADHD looks so different in moms and teens, how inattentive and hyperactive types show up, how masking works in girls who overperform at school, and why executive dysfunction can hide behind a put-together exterior. If you’ve ever wondered whether your “quirks” are actually ADHD traits, this episode helps you spot yourself, understand your wiring, and feel a lot less alone.

More from South of Normal

If you have ADHD and struggle to stay focused on your goals, you are not alone. In this episode of South of Normal, Jheri South sits down with multi-faceted entrepreneur Kelsey Edwards, who was only recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.

At 12 years old, Michael Bernoff was told he had a 90 percent chance of not having an effective life unless he medicated for ADHD. That sentence could have defined him. Instead, it forced him to question the label.
Tiny things should not feel this big. But in a neurodivergent marriage, they can .
