In this episode I chat to Laura Mears-Reynolds, Globally acclaimed ADHD Podcaster and Activist, Twice NDA Award Nominee, and now ADHDAF+ Charity CEO.

We discuss the challenges and triumphs of living with ADHD, the importance of community support, and the advocacy work being done to raise awareness and provide resources for those affected by ADHD. We explore personal experiences, the impact of gender on ADHD understanding, and the significance of creative approaches to education and awareness, including the vibrant ADHD AF Day.

In this episode I chat to Calial McCarty. Calial is a therapist, parent, trainer, and consultant focused on mental health, neurodivergence, and complex health needs, and author of Naturally Divergent, her first book.

We talk about why Calial wrote her book, and what it's for. We dive in to the benefits of the MIGDAS assessment tool for autism and why it's superior to the ADOS. We also share our views and stories parenting neurodivergent children as neurodivergent adults.

In this episode I chat to Clare, a late diagnosed autistic mum of 2 toddlers. We chat about the impact late diagnosis can have, parenting when you're neurodivergent, and we dip in to the horror that is PMDD. It was lovely to chat to Clare, who I've followed on TikTok for a long time, and I hope to have her on again in the future!
