Why ADHD & AuDHD Brains Love True Crime (Dopamine, Curiosity & Hyperfocus)

Why do so many AuDHD, ADHD, and neurodivergent people love true crime?


In this episode, I explore the connection between true crime and the neurodivergent brain — from dopamine and curiosity to pattern recognition, hyperfocus, and the need to understand “why.”


We talk about:

– why true crime can feel calming or regulating

– dopamine, curiosity, and ADHD interest patterns

– pattern recognition and making sense of human behaviour

– control, predictability, and understanding danger

– when true crime becomes overwhelming or overstimulating


This isn’t about glorifying anything — it’s about understanding why your brain is drawn to it.


If you’ve ever wondered

“why am I so hooked on this?”

this episode will make a lot of sense.
