We return to discuss the highs and lows of navigating life with ADHD while managing health challenges, medication adjustments, and back-to-school transitions.

• Claire shares her realization that stopping ADHD medication during illness significantly impacted her cognitive function
• We discuss the challenges of body awareness and pacing for neurodivergent people when unwell
• Claire's health updates including upcoming surgery and attending a family gig despite physical limitations
• Gen celebrates a successful back-to-school transition after previous struggles with school avoidance
• The importance of teachers who genuinely like and support neurodivergent children
• Reflections on our own childhood experiences with teachers who did or didn't like them

We're back again, with our Highs and Lows...

• Claire's low: Being stuck at home while sick, dealing with hospitals and the mental health impact of isolation
• The disconnect between feeling young inside while aging physically
• Gym memberships and exercise intentions that never materialize – a classic ADHD pattern.
• Claire's high: Support from loved ones, especially her son cooking meals and spending quality time
• Gen's ongoing challenges of solo parenting and summer holiday management
• A fruit fly invasion and "creative" (but totally ineffective) trap inventions
• Boss moments in the continuation of Gen getting back into her music career, including fan art and recording sessions

We return after a sudden absence to explain our disappearance, sharing candid stories about our recent medical emergencies and hospital stays.

• Claire spent over ten days in multiple hospitals dealing with a severe infection in her fallopian tubes
• A hospital procedure gone wrong left Claire with a drain tube caught on her sciatic nerve, causing excruciating pain
• After being discharged, Claire has spent weeks trying to coordinate care between two hospitals that won't take responsibility for her treatment
• Gen underwent a painful procedure and experienced a spontaneous knee dislocation while recovering alone at home
• We discuss how ADHD complicates illness—making medication management particularly challenging
• Being sick with ADHD leads to boredom, hyper-focusing on pain, and difficulty with hospital routines
• Summer parenting while recovering has created guilt, though our kids have adapted well


We're going to try to be more consistent with episodes going forward, though Claire still needs additional hospital treatment. We love doing this podcast together and appreciate your patience during our absence.
