You’re not imagining it: the tag, the buzz, the glare, the smell of someone’s lotion. For many ADHD women, sensory sensitivity isn’t a side issue—it’s a daily, invisible drain on energy, focus, and emotional regulation. And yet, it’s often only a footnote in ADHD discussions (except for hushed conversations among and between the women who suffer). In this engaging and eye-opening session, Linda Roggli explores the day-to-day reality of sensitivity in ADHD women—when clothing feels like sandpaper, when the world beeps too loudly or smells too strongly. We’ll address taste and texture and even pain perception as triggers for mild to severe discomfort for ADHD women. You’ll find out why the ADHD brain has trouble sorting and filtering sensory input, how dopamine can be involved, and why so many ADHD women avoid the overwhelm by sidestepping potentially difficult environments - and limiting their own experiences. We’ll also look at the possible connection between ADHD sensitivities and the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) trait. You’ll leave with not only validation of your sensory issues, but a fistful of practical tools you can implement immediately.
