Show Notes
What is ADHD? How does it manifest and display in people? Is it time to stop calling it a disorder?
Dr Tony Lloyd is chief executive of the ADHD Foundation, which I am delighted and honoured to have become a patron of. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, and it had a big impact on me. So much of my life, looking back, now makes more sense. And so i wanted to really dig deep into the topic with Tony, who is a fountain of neurodiverse knowledge. In this episode we discuss:
- ADHD scepticism
- What ADHD is and how it presents
- The key traits of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity
- Why leading organisations like Tesla are actively recruiting neurodiverse people seeking a 21st century advantage
- Why the way we educate children needs a similar upgrade
- ADHD and relationships
- Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria
- ADHD comorbidities, including anxiety and autism
- Executive functioning
- Self-care and managing ADHD
- ADHD and shame
- The challenge people can have getting a diagnosis
- Treating neurodiverse people the same as other diverse groups

My debut book - Champion Thinking: How to find success without losing yourself - is available for pre-order now. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews from this podcast over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found.
