8: My ADHD Revelation

I describe my ADHD revelation which happened in March 2018, when I first took the step of specifically researching a possible cause for some of my struggles and stumbled upon Jessica McCabe's TEDx talk titled Failing at Normal: An ADHD Success Story. I talk about the great relief which I felt upon watching that talk and the subsequent further research that it inspired, and how I came to realise that ADHD had been implicated in some of my most significant lifelong struggles.

Om Podcasten

Unheard Mind, a podcast about mental health and neurodiversity. Having been diagnosed in my early thirties with ADHD, OCD and autism I am coming to grips with all things mental health, whilst working to make improvements in my life and make progress towards better mental health. I share my stories of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, OCD and autism, the emotional traumas, family conflicts and the subsequent struggles throughout adulthood. I sometimes use my own poetry to help tell these stories. As I look forwards optimistically, I hope that sharing my experiences can give extra hope to those who may have struggled with mental health and with feeling unheard or misunderstood.
