Das Gefühl der "Andersartigkeit" ließ mich über viele Jahre nicht los. Ich habe immer gespürt, dass ich anders bin als die anderen. Verstanden habe ich es erst, als ich mit 26 Jahren die Diagnose ADHS und Autismus bekam. ADHS - das haben doch nur Jungs in der Grundschule?! Im Podcast erzähle ich von meinem Alltag, von meinen Herausforderungen und den Arten, wie ich damit umgehe.
