Quotes from podcast:

Emma Aylett “ADHDers often have very fast thinking brains. Our ideas are already formed before another person can finish what they are saying. Or you may already feel that you know the answer… sometimes it's really important to remember what that feels like, on the other side, to the person who's trying to say something.”

Stuart Cohen “How can I redirect from that moment when I feel that volcano ready to explode and a blurt coming on? What can I do because we have choices. And it would be grand and great if we could deconstruct that habit and reconstruct something new.”
