Today, we’re talking to Sarah Chayette. Sarah is a pediatric neurologist, and an expert in both ADHD and Autism. She is the co-author of two books on ADHD, and her blog 1-2-3 ADHD is featured in Psychology Today.
In Today’s Episode, Sarah and I discuss ADHD and the nervous system. And then shift into the intersection of ADHD and Autism. We talk about their similarities and differences, the challenges with diagnosis, why kids with ADHD and autism might both miss social cues, but miss them for different reasons, the roles anxiety and sensory challenges play in both disorders, and why symptoms matter more than diagnosis.

In this week's episode, I share ideas for managing the Summer of 2020 - one that, for many of us, is likely to be mostly at home, for both us and our kids.
I talk about the importance of prioritizing and communicating with our kids, helping the set goals for the summer, and then planning the summer around the things they want to learn, make and do. I also break summer ideas down into 7 categories, and share how I will be addressing each to get your brains going!
Those categories are:

Today, we’re talking to Romanza McAllister. is a Psychotherapist and ADHD Coach in Brooklyn NY. She works with Adult who have ADHD. Her work centers on racial identity, codependency, and acceptance of the ADHD diagnosis. She serves on the board of the Attention Deficit Disorder Association, and leads their African American /Black Diaspora + ADHD Virtual Peer Support Group.
In Today’s Episode, Romanza shares with us the challenges that black Americans who have ADHD face in our culture. We discuss the ways COVID19 and civil unrest are affecting her daily life in Brooklyn, New York, the reality of police interactions for Black Americans and how having ADHD affects them, shared trauma, nonviolent ways to resist systemic racism, and who gets to have ADHD.
This episode was challenging for me as an interviewer. My first question is awful. It framed things well enough, but I should have phrased it better. Also, I if I could do it again, I would talk less and listen more.
I imagine this episode may be challenging for some listeners of this show. It’s not the first time we’ve talked about race and racism ion this show, but I’ve never covered it when things were as charged as they are right now, following the death of George Floyd. I hope you find meaning in it.
