Hacking Your ADHD · Beyond the Labels: Queerness and ADHD Unpacked with Rachel Scanlon (Rebroadcast) · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

So I think that like those things I feel really lucky, but I feel bad for my girlfriend because she knows she'll be speaking to me and she has to just come right in direct eye line and then start from the beginning because there are just things that like when you're kind of a high energy person with ADHD, and I'm like, there's so much happening within, there's a lot going on.

And I'm like, I need eye contact and like a gentle touch.

I'm like, just touch my face, lock it in, and then tell me what to do and I'll go do it as hard as I have done anything in my life.

Oh man.

That's so nice too.

I feel like the thing that I appreciate the most about the close relationships that I have is that they understand that when I'm asking you to start over from the top, it's because I genuinely want to know everything that you're saying.

I don't want it to be, oh, I missed it.

I'm an asshole.

We'll move on.

I want it to be like, there's not an ounce of you that I don't care about.

So walk me back to the beginning.

And I know it's annoying to say it again, but I'm so engaged when I'm engaged.

I was so grateful when there are those moments where you're like, so you understand that I give a shit a lot.

Listening is one of the, I would say, hardest things in the world and sexiest things in the world, especially in the queer community.

If you're a good listener, holy moly, baby, that's currency.

I'm still figuring out ways to trick myself into learning how to be a better listener because I get lost very easily when I can't see it.

Sometimes I feel like when I'm listening to somebody speaking words.

I have a hard time picturing what they're doing unless I'm really picturing it and then I can get in there.

But I don't know.

Are you a good reader?
