You're Wrong About ADHD

It can be really destabilising when someone you know questions or even dismisses your ADHD.
Aside from being awkward and frustrating, those conversations can cause major self doubt when you've been trying so hard to manage life.
In this episode, Katie and Sam speak to Kat Brown, author of It’s Not a Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult, about how to tackle those awkward conversations head on, without being confrontational (well, maybe a bit).
Kat also talks about being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how she had to learn acceptance after a lifetime of feeling different.
This is a really encouraging episode for anyone newly diagnosed or anyone starting to grow weary of the constant debates around ADHD.

In this episode Katie and Sam look at your questions and stories.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD can be life changing, a chance to take control and change the habits and behaviours that have made life difficult but accepting that you have ADHD can take a long time.
Realising that all the scaffolding you'd used before to just about make life work has been stripped away and now it's time to start again can be really daunting. Finding new ways to do things is a journey that includes accepting what works for you one day can change the next.
Katie and Sam look at how painful and confusing that time after diagnosis can be, with questions like 'now what?' and 'who am I?' They talk about how things have changed for the better for both of them and discuss how this long journey can have a positive outcome.

In this episode Katie and Sam speak to ADHD advocate and pioneer Cynthia Hammer.
Cynthia was diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD in 1992 when she was 49 years old. She thought she was the only adult in the United States who had ADHD but quickly learned she wasn't alone.
Cynthia tells Katie and Sam how she managed the shame and loneliness after her diagnosis, set up her own support group and then became an advocate for people with ADHD.
Cynthia also talks about Find the ADHD Girls, a project to raise awareness about the early signs of ADHD in girls.
For anyone coming to terms with a diagnosis, wondering about a loved one or managing a web of ADHD in their family, this episode is full of insight from someone with years of experience.
