Exploring ADHD sparked my curiosity, and as I recognised many familiar traits, I embarked on the journey of obtaining a formal diagnosis. In this episode we talk about the mix of emotions and hurdles navigating the path to understanding and managing adult ADHD.

Navigating the complex world of ADHD diagnosis, exploring NHS wait times, and considering private options.
Using the ASRS questionnaire for a preliminary self-assessment, with a score indicating ADHD likelihood.
Coping with concerns about media coverage of private ADHD clinics.
The potential challenges of disclosure at work.
Seeking medical guidance, receiving support from a virtual GP, and obtaining referrals for a diagnosis.

Helping me, helping you.
Since being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of forty five, I was determined to be open about my experience and share the joy of finally understanding and accepting myself.
I've written blogs, made videos and shared reels on Instagram and Facebook and been really overwhelmed and humbled by how useful people have said they found them.
It has truly opened up a whole new level of connection I never expected to find, and now, where I'm at my most comfortable with a spoken podcast, I only hope that continues.Β
