Join me as I welcome special guest Dr. Natalie Mathews, a Sociologist at Massey University and fellow ADHD’er. We discuss and explore the complexities of hermeneutics, identity, and the unique experiences of individuals.
Key Takeaways:
Hermeneutics is about how we make sense of the world
Our identity can be influenced by our interpretations of events and personal experiences
Neurodivergent individuals often perceive situations differently than neurotypical individuals
Executive function challenges are common among neurodivergent individuals
Traditional narratives often fail to capture the complexity of individual experiences
Task switching can be particularly challenging for parents with ADHD
Understanding mental fatigue is crucial for managing daily life
Neurodivergent individuals often feel they haven't done enough
