Ep 68 - Understanding Undiagnosed ADHD & ASD: Shiny Object Syndrome and Masking Behaviors

In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked signs of undiagnosed ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). We'll explore how shiny object syndrome, poor financial management, and addictive behaviors like sex, masturbation, gambling, and intense workouts can be ways to mask ADHD. We'll also discuss the phenomenon of swapping identities and being inconsistent as key indicators pointing towards undiagnosed ADHD.

Key Points:

• Shiny Object Syndrome: Constantly shifting focus and interests.
• Financial Instability: Struggling to manage money effectively.
• Addictive Behaviors: Using sex, masturbation, gambling, and strenuous workouts as coping mechanisms.
• Identity Swapping: Frequently changing personas and interests.
• Inconsistency: Difficulty maintaining routines and commitments.

Did You Know? Statistics reveal that people with ADHD have lower dopamine levels compared to neurotypical individuals, which can drive the search for stimulation and excitement in various forms. Neurotypical brains have a balanced level of dopamine, leading to more stable behavior and focus.
