The ADHD Tax

PodcastNeurodivergence
Written By Em Shindel

In this episode, Em and Elliott talk about the extra cost (in time, money, energy, and guilt) that neurodivergent brains pay trying to use systems designed for neurotypical people. From forgotten car registrations to unused gym memberships to the endless cycle of productivity tools that don't stick, we're breaking down why consistency doesn't mean repetition for ADHD brains.

In this episode:

  • What the ADHD tax actually is

  • The neuroscience behind why "just do it" doesn't work for ADHD brains

  • Real examples of how the ADHD tax shows up in life and business

  • The three principles that actually work: Rhythms over routines, rooting your rhythm, and systems in motion
