Episode 161 ADHD and Motivation

The ADHD Adults Podcast

Show Notes

Hot on the heels of Episode 160 on body doubling, comes the related topic of ADHD and motivation for Episode 161. As usual, Alex the Psycho.......education Monkey delivers the science behind the ADHD and motivation, all three ADHD Adults give their personal reflections and tips, and then we answer questions that have been sent in. 'What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week?" returns with James 11-7 up for the season, The Metrics Intern continues telling us about the cities we have listeners in, and Alex reads the usual 'definitely real' correspondence. Mrs ADHD will read anything out you write in the script, Alex loses it over a baked potato and James selects the wrong microphone (again)…

Written by Alex Conner, Samantha Brown and James Brown.

Produced by James Brown and JBHD Ltd.

James isn’t allowed to do bathos, Alex steals James’s professional background, and Mrs AuDHD isn’t as proud of her weirdness since getting her diagnoses...

Episode 199 of the podcast covers ADHD and neuroplasticity, the lifelong capacity of the brain to change and rewire itself in response to the stimulation of learning and experience. Part 1 is the usual 'welcome to the podcast nonsense', in part 2, Alex the Psycho…. education Monkey tries to communicate poorly written science of ADHD and neuroplasticity, and in part 3, Alex and James offer their personal reflections on rumination. "What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week?" returns with James winning 5-1 so far for the series. Alex’s ‘Rapper name’ is FOX-P and James prefers ‘shut up’ to ‘shush’...
