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
