Being Neuroqueer: The Hidden Connection Between ADHD and Queerness

Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Episode 029: What if the very things that make you feel different… were your greatest power?

In this special bold Pride Month episode of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, Ron dives into the deep (and often invisible) overlap between ADHD and LGBTQ+ identity. You’ll hear powerful stories of late diagnosis, queer discovery, and the emotional weight of wearing a mask — And a deeper sense of connection!

What you’ll learn:

Why ADHD is more common in LGBTQ+ individuals — and why it often goes undiagnosed
The science behind "neuroqueer" identity and how it rewrites what we thought we knew
How rejection sensitivity and masking affect both communities
What double stigma really feels like — and how to build double resilience
Real ways to create belonging in a world built for sameness

If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough,” this episode is a love letter to your whole self. You’re not broken — you were never meant to blend in.
