In this episode of Translating ADHD, hosts Ash and Dusty explore the intersection of queerness and ADHD, emphasizing the importance of community, acceptance, and flexible frameworks. They discuss how their identities as neurodivergent individuals shape their perspectives on relationships, support systems, and personal growth. Dusty shares her experiences navigating the complexities of community care while balancing her queer identity with her ADHD challenges, while Ash reflects on his journey of coming out as transgender and how it has informed his understanding of self-acceptance and identity.
