A(u)DHD & Justice Sensitivity

Why do small unfairnesses hit some people so much harder? Dr. J breaks down justice sensitivity: The intense reaction to perceived wrongdoing that’s especially common in ADHD and AuDHD brains.

Learn about the four types of justice sensitivity, why emotional dysregulation, hyperfocus, and impulsivity make it stronger, and how lived experience shapes it.

Plus, practical in-the-moment and long-term strategies to channel your sense of fairness — without burning out or blowing up.

(And Sep 22 2026 they put out an episode on ADHD & PMDD, which is a thing people ask me about a lot!)
