Attachment Style & ADHD: What does it mean for neurodiversity? [Research Recap]
Description
Hello and welcome back to The ADHD Skills Lab!
Producer Sarah here, diving deep into an apparently contentious topic: Attachment Styles and ADHD!
In 2024, we understand that ADHD can impact relationships and communication, but when did attachment styles enter the chat?
Curious about what we'll cover?
- Attachment Theory Defined - Then and now
- ADHD Subtype correlation
- What's the correlation between trauma & attachment style?
- Aren't these things incompatible with the neurodiversity paradigm?! Does someone want to do this study?
BONUS: personal discussion of our own attachment styles! Come chat about it on Threads.
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
~ Sarah (Podcast Producer)
