ADHDifference - HYPERSENSITIVITY

ADHDifference

Julie Legg and Jel Legg discuss the link between ADHD and hypersensitivity – not necessarily a trait, but a common attribute for people with ADHD.
They chat about each of their senses, the weird and wonderful extremes they experience. From datum lines to aesthetics, bass drums and distant conversations, scratchy clothing labels to repetitive touch, Christmas shopping to confrontation. They ponder criticism, expected outcomes, adverse reactions to not feeling in control of self, empathy, negative people and energy levels - to name a few.
You'll hear their personal experiences with living with ADHD as adults (after being diagnosed in their fifties) as a married and unmedicated couple. It's an open and honest conversation where over-talking, interrupting and not finishing sentences are alive and well.
