ADHD is one of the most researched neurological disorders. That has not been the case for AFAB people and their experiences of ADHD over their lifespan. More specifically there has been no investigation of their experiences sexually and how ADHD may impact their experiences and their ability to experience sexual pleasure and connect with partners. In this talk listeners can expect to learn how AFAB people describe their understanding of how their symptoms of ADHD impact their sexual experiences and their bodies generally. Also expect to learn about how online communities have become huge places of support, misinformation, solidarity, and sharing of personal medical information. Listeners will also receive tips for improving their sexual experiences that are supportive of ADHD or other neurodivergence.
