Summary
Episode 55 with Sydni Rubio.
"My hyperactivity manifests as really aggressive driving, as well as impatience and impulsivity."
Sydni is the creator and founder of What in the ADHD? She started the brand in January 2021 with the simple hope of sharing accessible ADHD information with others and the science behind *why* we have certain traits and behaviors. With a strong background in teaching and science, she breaks down a lot of obtuse concepts in relatable, humorous and easy to digest YouTube videos.
What in the ADHD? is now an established LLC that’s dedicated to normalizing ADHD and sharing information about it in a fun, inclusive, and accessible way via blogs, videos, tweets, and community surveys.
We talk about our scientific brains and our insatiable curiosity and desire to solve puzzles. We also talk about some red flags when seeking an ADHD diagnosis and how so many of us have encountered dismissive doctors and felt minimized when seeking a diagnosis. And we also talk about community and advocacy and how feeling seen and knowing you’re not alone is such a HUGE part of the diagnosis journey in adulthood.
TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of miscarriages.
