Show Notes
Paige is back! If you've always secretly found travelling stressful and wondered why it looks so fun for everyone else - we see you. In this episode, we’re unpacking why holidays and travel can feel so overwhelming as a neurodivergent person. Freshly off the plane, Paige reflects on her recent trip and what accomodations she made for herself. We talk about why AuDHDers find travelling stressful and also reflect on some recent listener Reddit posts about perimenopause.

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.
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.
