Episode Details

Presented by Understood.org

You feel seen by something that wasn’t meant for you.

Skye and Robbie explore whether Bluey reflects ADHD patterns or just captures behaviour accurately.

Using DSM criteria, they break down distraction, unfinished tasks, and how patterns are identified over time.

This episode sits right on the line between observation and diagnosis and shows you how to think about both.

What We Cover:

• Where observation stops and diagnosis starts
• Why realistic behaviour can feel diagnostic
• How ADHD criteria actually gets applied
• The risk of over-interpreting behaviour
• Why this conversation matters beyond the show
