Devora Krasnianski speaks with Robynne Panderies, delving into the often-overlooked topic of ADHD in adults, particularly in adult women. For some women, they recognize ADHD later in life. It wasn’t a thing when we were younger and that’s some of what we discuss here. Robynne generously shared her expertise and personal experiences with ADHD, offering practical strategies for managing its challenges – effective communication techniques for collaborative projects and the significance of sharing individual working styles. Whether you’re personally grappling with ADHD or know someone who might be, this conversation is important.
