What if you've spent your entire life believing something was wrong with you... when your brain was simply wired differently?

In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I sit down with **Sudhita Kasturi-**scientist, educator, and founder of Leverage Your ADHD—to unpack the myths, misconceptions, and hidden strengths of the ADHD brain.

Together, we explore why so many intelligent, high-achieving adults—especially women and people from cultures where mental health is rarely discussed—go undiagnosed for years. Sudhita shares her own journey of being diagnosed as an adult, how it transformed her understanding of herself, and why ADHD is not a limitation but a different way of experiencing the world.

We also discuss people pleasing, perfectionism, academic struggles, spirituality, parenting neurodivergent children, and why understanding how your brain works can be one of the most freeing experiences of your life.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The biggest myths about ADHD
• Why so many women are diagnosed later in life
• The hidden strengths of neurodivergent minds
• ADHD in South Asian families and the stigma around diagnosis
• Why high achievers often struggle in silence
• How to stop fighting your brain and start working with it
