Episode 5 - The Practical Episode | An ADHD Senate Inquiry, Getting Diagnosed & Navigating the NDIS

In the final episode of Anomalous we’ll be looking at all of the practical things you need to know when it comes to being diagnosed.  We explore what to expect when you go to the doctors office, how much it will cost, how much time it’ll take and how you can talk to your family and friends about being neurodivergent.  We’ll also be discussing “the overdiagnosis epidemic”. Are ADHD and autism really being overdiagnosed? Or does this increase in diagnosis speak to a broader and more important societal trend in how we view mental health? Plus, we talk to Senator Jordon Steele-John from The Greens around policy surrounding the ADHD Senate Inquiry and also speak to writer Matilda Bosely about her own experience getting diagnosed.
