Description: 🎉 Help me hit my end of year Patreon goal of 400 paid subscribers! I'm at 255 now. Will you be number 256?  In this episode: I talk about what to do when there's too much ADHD/AuDHD information and you don't know where to start, including this podcast's back catalog. I cover why there's no perfect way to learn, what acceptance really means, an exercise for figuring out how you want to feel, small ways to work through my episodes, and why all ADHD advice comes down to saying the same things over again anyway.
