ADHD Misinformation: Why Relatable Doesn’t Always Mean Accurate
An ADHD video makes you think, “That’s me.” How do you know whether its explanation is accurate?
My journey toward a formal ADHD and autism diagnosis began with people sharing their lived experiences on social media. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Monica Johnson, known as Dr. J, joins me to discuss how to evaluate online ADHD information while recognizing the value of those shared experiences.
We explore the “relatability trap,” common experiences presented as ADHD-specific symptoms, and why confidence and credentials don’t settle whether a claim is correct. We also discuss parasocial relationships, how creators respond to corrections, and oversold treatments, supplements, and ADHD hacks.
If online content has you considering an ADHD assessment, Dr. J offers a practical starting point: consider the care you can access and look for relevant clinical experience.
Dr. J hosts ADHD And… on The ADHD Channel for Women from Understood.org.

ADHD and Avoidance: The ADHD Channel for Women, From Understood.org
Do you ever feel that wave of avoidance with your ADHD, even with the things you genuinely want to do? Or, if something doesn't have a clear direction or maybe there are too many steps or it just isn't a rewarding task -- is it hard for you to start?
I know these are some of the issues I struggle with when faced with getting started on many projects. It's known as having trouble with task initiation.
If you’re a regular listener, you might remember an episode from The ADHD Channel for Women (https://lnk.to/adhdchannelforwomenFD!theaudhdboss) on the feed recently. Well, today I am excited to share another! It’s from Understood.org, a nonprofit helping millions navigate neurodivergence. Their channel features three distinct shows covering relationships, neurodivergence in current news, and practical strategy from an ADHD clinical psychologist —who you’ll hear today.
The episode I’m about to play for you is about ADHD and avoidance.
Dr. Monica Johnson, also known as Dr. J, helps us identify why our executive function has so much trouble with task initiation and why our ADHD does this. This is another episode that just shows why I love Understood.org so much. Dr. J offers up very accessible explanation about the "why" behind our ADHD and then moves right into what we can do when the avoidance happens. I know for me the avoidance can hit hard and it feels like trying to run fast but I'm stuck in slow motion.
This episode is so incredibly helpful and also covers the emotional impact of how this affects us.
