"AuDHD... Or Just A Bit Weird...?" follows my late-in-life journey through an AuDHD assessment, unpacking lifelong traits, their impact and the coping strategies I've picked up along the way.
Petitions, Playground Punches & Progress With Ryan Swain!
Ryan Swain is an award-winning presenter, motivational speaker, ADHD and neurodiversity advocate, and founder of You, Me & ADHD®, a voluntary educational initiative dedicated to improving understanding, acceptance and inclusion of neurodivergent people. Drawing on his own lived experiences of ADHD, Tourette’s syndrome and challenges within the education system, Ryan has dedicated himself to educating children, teachers, parents and communities across the UK. Through his free school talks, educational workshops and national advocacy, he has reached thousands of young people and education professionals, championing his belief that “Understanding changes lives, inclusion changes futures.” Ryan has also contributed to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on ADHD and is campaigning for meaningful change in the UK education system.Ryan is currently campaigning for age-appropriate ADHD and neurodiversity education to become a consistent part of the school curriculum across the UK. The aim is to ensure every child grows up understanding neurological differences, every teacher has access to better awareness and support, and families feel heard and understood. This isn’t about adding labels or making excuses; it’s about preventing misunderstanding, reducing stigma and bullying, encouraging earlier intervention and creating a more inclusive education system for everyone.

Bumps, Birth & Babies With Blanka!
This week my guest Blanka and I are talking about her experience of being pregnant, giving birth and the following months as someone with AuDHD. Blanka shares how she felt throughout her pregnancy and the pressure she felt to bond with her baby, both before and after giving birth, and how difficult that was as an autistic person. This is a very raw and personal episode tackling a lot of things that often don't get talked about publicly, so I am so thankful to Blanka for sharing so much.
For more about Blanka and everything she does click here! (https://linktr.ee/blankazsanna)
Also... the day this episode is released is the 5th annual ADHDAF day! So get your leopard print on and ROAR!

Tag Teaming Titration! With Hannah Clark!
When I first had Hannah on the podcast neither of us had started medication for ADHD. Hannah and I have become great mates since we first met and as luck would have it we have been going through titration at the same time so we became titration buddies and started sending each other voice notes updating each other on how we were finding Elvanse, side effects, positive changes, things we were excited about and also things we were feeling anxious about. I was thrilled when Hannah agreed to share it all with you in this very ADHD episode! We also touch on *that* Channel 4 dodgy documentary... Enjoy!
Find out more about Hannah here! (linktr.ee/littleedwardiansemi)
