I was diagnosed 20 years ago. I joined this forum and was astonished when I saw a post entitled “what kind of earplugs do you have?” I thought “wait, you all have ear plugs too?” My point is that when I was diagnosed, we didn’t know all these things about ADHD (auditory sensitivities, etc). I used to flip shit and get angry immediately when I heard leaf blowers. Certain sounds would send me over the edge when I was younger. I am also finding out about a correlation between ADHD and rejection dysphoria. What book can I read to find out what else I don’t know that’s been discovered since 2005?
Also, I’m female, so I’m probably missing info about that too.


In terms of strategies, I’d recommend Unmasked by Ellie Middleton.
I’m currently half way through reading Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté, which is very much worthy of all the praise it receives.
