Explanation or excuse?

Hands up all our favourite “I think I might have ADHD” people

This week’s Fink Tank kicks off with Col “diagnosing” both of us, before comparing ADHD to being left-handed. Something that only showed up in the stats once it became socially acceptable to admit it.

We dig into the blurry line between explanation and excuse.

When does understanding yourself help you grow, and when does it just become a way to justify bad behaviour? At what point does “this is how my brain works” turn into “if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” (Ugh).

A slightly longer episode today, befitting the subject matter.
