This week we’re revisiting one of our favorite ADHD Aha! episodes. Ange Nolan once suspected she had ADHD but was dismissed by her doctor. Years later, an ADHD “iceberg” graphic that visualized how so many ADHD symptoms live beneath the surface finally made everything click. After her diagnosis, Ange recognized how much ADHD had shaped her romantic relationships, her drive for intense connection, her “chameleon” behavior, and her impulsive career changes. Be sure to tune in next time! Ange is coming back to tell us how life has changed in the three years since her episode aired. Spoiler: She’s doing great.For more on this topic:<ul><li>Listen: <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/adhd-aha/adhd-and-messiness-jeannies-story">ADHD and messiness (Jeannie’s story)</a></li><li>Read: <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/adhd-and-emotions-what-you-need-to-know">ADHD and emotions</a></li><li>Read: <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/understanding-impulsivity">Understanding impulsivity</a></li><li>Listen: <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/adhd-aha/adhd-and-marriage">ADHD and marriage (Rachel and Jon’s story)</a></li></ul>Timestamps: (00:50) The ADHD iceberg moment that revealed hidden symptoms(05:20) Early warning signs, misdiagnosis, and feeling dismissed(09:40) Career pivots, masking, and finding work that finally fits(15:30) Impulsivity, hyperfixation, and burnout in relationshipsFor a transcript and more resources, visit <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/adhd-aha">ADHD Aha!</a> on Understood.org.
