#187 - How ADHD Affects Adult Friendships: For People With ADHD and Their Friends (Cate Osborn and Erik Gude)
About this episode
Nina discusses how ADHD affects adult friendships with Cate Osborn and Erik Gude.
In this episode of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship, Nina talks with Cate Osborn and Erik Gude, co-authors of The ADHD Field Guide for Adults, about how ADHD can affect adult friendships. They explore the gap between intention and behavior—why reaching out, remembering plans, and following through can be harder with ADHD, even when someone cares deeply about the relationship. A thoughtful conversation for people with ADHD and the friends who want to better understand them. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
