15 May 2023Research Recap: Perfectionism and Executive Functioning with ADHD00:21:12

Welcome to our first research recap! Join us for our honest assessment and wide-ranging discussion of the latest in ADHD research. In this episode, we discuss how University students with ADHD can hold themselves to a relatively low standard of achievement despite being highly self-critical of their own performance. We examine whether a short intervention targeting executive dysfunction can improve workplace performance and satisfaction. And we look at the effectiveness of self-guided online modules for ADHD.

Join Skye and Sarah for an in-depth chat about two papers in what might be called the opposite ends of the academic spectrum.

05 Jun 2023ADHD Research recap: Father-child interactions and emotional dysregulation00:36:14

How do emotional regulation – and dysregulation – relate to ADHD? This week, we look at several studies about ADHD, executive function, and emotional dysregulation. Is emotional dysregulation tied to executive function? How do early childhood influences affect emotional dysregulation? And how does sleep – or the lack of it – affect emotional regulation and executive function? We'll discuss each study in depth and share our own experiences.

Hello, and welcome back to our ADHD Skills Lab!

  •  How time blindness and working memory issues can make it harder to meet our goals.

We also unpacked the role of mindfulness in emotional regulation and looked at how it can help us quiet self-criticism.

30 Sep 2024ADHD & Finances: More Than Just Impulsivity?!00:34:21

Impulse spending is a product of more than just ADHD impulsivity, and we’re excited to untangle what that means!

On this week’s episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we went looking for a research-backed financial decision-making framework—and what we found surprised us! There isn’t as much research on ADHD and financial decision making as we expected, which makes this episode feel even more special.

Curious about what’s inside?

  • Discover your financial decision-making style!
  • Why impulsive spending might have less to do with ADHD than you think…
  • Explore the paradox of ADHD: A blessing or a curse for your career?

You're not imagining it. The reason you feel like the world is “too much” by the afternoon might have as much for do with your nervous system as your to-do list.

In this episode, we break down two original studies showing how ADHD adults process light, sound, and touch differently—and why your brain might not even realize it’s overwhelmed until it’s too late.


What we cover:

  • The study that literally zapped people’s arms to test tactile sensitivity (yes, really)
  • Why ADHD brains skip the “heads-up” signal neurotypical brains use to handle stress
  • What happens when noise and lighting quietly drain your executive function
  • How to spot the signs of hidden overstimulation before you hit burnout
