346: How ADHD Shows Up In High-Achieving Adults - with Dr. Gilly Kahn, Clinical Psychologist and Writer

Gilly Kahn, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, writer, and mother with ADHD. She practices in Atlanta and specializes in neurodiversity. She is the author of Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women’s ADHD. You can learn more about Gilly and her work by visiting her website at https://www.drgillykahn.com

In this episode, we explore ADHD beyond the common stereotypes, including how it can show up in high-achieving adults and the ways neurodivergence can shape our experiences, relationships, and ability to pursue goals. 

We also discuss emotional dysregulation related to ADHD, common misconceptions, ADHD and autism, navigating barriers to diagnosis and support, and the grief that can come with recognizing how ADHD has impacted different areas of your life.

We also explore rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), along with overlaps and important differences between ADHD and OCD. We hope this conversation can offer a nuanced look at living with ADHD in adulthood.
