And then you scrolled past a clip telling you screens are rewiring your kid's brain. Causing ADHD. Making them socially broken. And your stomach dropped. You weren't being lazy. You were trying to regulate yourself before you said something you'd regret. But the guilt arrived anyway. Right on cue. This week, Amanda Moses — senior psychologist, ADHD and autism assessor, the woman who actually trains other psychologists in this space — sits down to go through the Osher Günsberg clip line by line. The one with the neuroscientist claiming 'digital ADHD' is now the majority of cases. The one your mother-in-law sent you. The one that made you feel sick. Amanda brings the receipts. None of them say what he said they said. What We Cover The 'digital ADHD' claim — and what the actual heritability research says (74-80%, by the way) Why your phone notification is not going to give you a heart attack, no matter how many amygdala fight-or-flight diagrams someone draws The 'still face' babies story — what the research actually shows about distraction Why online connection counts — especially for autistic women, regional mums, and anyone who can't just 'turn up to playgroup' Why this kind of content hurts the women who can't afford a psych session and are already running on guilt About Amanda: Check out Amanda's Management Strategies for ADHD.
