 What if everything you thought was “just your personality” turned out to be ADHD? For many late-diagnosed adults, that lightbulb moment brings both relief and grief. Laurie’s story shines a light on what it means to navigate identity, unmasking, and daily life with ADHD in a world that often misunderstands neurodivergence. Meet Laurie Faulkner, a content creator and advocate who was diagnosed with ADHD at 23 after years of feeling “different.” Her journey—from drama school to impulsively moving countries, working for Disney as a princess, and now openly sharing her ADHD story online—offers a relatable and refreshing perspective. Laurie speaks candidly about masking, overstimulation, impulsivity, and the hacks that help her thrive. She brings authenticity, humor, and honesty to the conversation, making her a powerful voice for the late-diagnosed neurodivergent community.TOPICS DISCUSSEDLate ADHD diagnosis in adulthoodMasking and unmaskingOverstimulation and sensory sensitivitiesImpulsivity and decision-making with ADHDHacks for managing focus and routinesSupporting neurodivergent friends and adultsNeurodiversity as a spectrumStrengths and struggles of ADHD brainsTAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODEADHD often goes unnoticed until adulthood, leaving many to feel “different” without knowing why.Masking can be exhausting—and unmasking is a process of rediscovering your true self.Impulsivity isn’t always a negative—sometimes it leads to incredible adventures and opportunities.Practical ADHD hacks include: doing tasks immediately, sticking to routines, and using tools like Google Calendar.Support for neurodivergent people looks like acceptance, honest communication, and accountability from those closest to them.Neurodivergence is a spectrum—every person’s experience is unique, and that diversity is a strength.
