When ADHD meets high school Club Day, things get… sticky. My son came home signed up for ten clubs — none of which he actually remembers — but he can tell you who had the best snacks. From free pizza to forgotten sign-up sheets, this is the story of how one ADHD teen turned Club Day into an all-you-can-eat buffet of “involvement.”

In Part 2 of our Snack Attack series, we move past dopamine and impulsivity to tackle the final boss of ADHD-snacking: emotional dysregulation. From big feelings to binge cycles, executive dysfunction, and snack stashes that rival Costco, we’re breaking down why ADHD turns eating into chaos — and what actually helps calm the storm.

ADHD brains + snacks = chaos, but there’s science behind it. Dopamine droughts, impulsivity, and snack-chasing aren’t “bad habits” — they’re predictable brain wiring. In Part 1 of our Snack Attack series, we break down why the pantry keeps disappearing and why impulsivity, dopamine, and hidden Twinkies might all be connected.
