For decades, women with ADHD have been overlooked and undiagnosed. That’s finally beginning to change. But there’s still so far to go. That’s where The ADHD Channel for Women comes in. We’re a channel made by women with ADHD, for women with ADHD. And we’re talking about the things we want to hear. Women with ADHD need (good!) information, smart takes on ADHD topics, and so much more. Hang out with Cate Osborn and guests as they discuss ADHD, relationships, and sex on Sorry, I Missed This. Get answers to ADHD questions you didn’t know you had from Dr. Monica Johnson on ADHD and…. Or join journalist Rae Jacobson on Hyperfocus for deep dives, personal stories, and real talk about neurodivergence.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T14:18:46.908508+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781"},"episode":{"title":"Why neurodivergent women can’t stop reading smut and romantasy | Sorry, I Missed This","slug":"why-neurodivergent-women-can-t-stop-reading-smut-and-romantasy-sorry-i-missed-this","published_at":"2026-06-04T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781/why-neurodivergent-women-can-t-stop-reading-smut-and-romantasy-sorry-i-missed-this","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781","url":"https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/adhd-channel/sorry-i-missed-this-neurodivergence-romantasy-smut","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/1245/afp-935247-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/1a7154d3-8c76-4ded-a925-5975fa97f65a/episodes/7b142b9c-97d7-4a85-96c8-d6036ff808fc/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=1a7154d3-8c76-4ded-a925-5975fa97f65a&awEpisodeId=7b142b9c-97d7-4a85-96c8-d6036ff808fc&feed=60WJALk_","summary":"Did you know that women with ADHD consume explicit fiction at dramatically higher rates than neurotypical women — and there’s a neurological reason? Dr. Erika Miley is a licensed mental health counselor, certified sex therapist, and author of the only dissertation published on ADHD and women’s sexuality. After surveying over 2,000 participants, one thing kept surfacing: smut. Romantasy, explicit romance, audio erotica — all of it. In this episode, she explains why the ADHD brain is uniquely drawn to literary erotica, how smut raises the arousal threshold enough to sustain focus, and why neurodivergent women are using it for everything from processing emotional vulnerability to getting through household chores.","meta_description":"Did you know that women with ADHD consume explicit fiction at dramatically higher rates than neurotypical women — and there’s a neurological reason?
