The wonderful Priyanka Patel AKA @littlemiss_adhd_ hops aboard the late ADHD diagnosis roller coaster with us and alongside sharing her experience she also highlights how following our passions leads ADHDers to thrive. Her positivity is inspiring and this chinwag has helped reframe Laura’s perception of her achievements.
‘Quite often the focus is on the challenges rather than the many strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, ever neurodivergent individual has a unique pattern of strengths and challenges. It is important to harness the strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, this helps to build confidence and self-esteem, and ensures individuals are given the opportunity to flourish in their day-to-day’ - @neurodiversityweek

ADHDAF - Episode 16: ADHD Diagnosis Crisis
play

08/16/22 • 60 min

Undiagnosed ADHDers can’t cope. The NHS can’t cope. And we can’t cope with constantly hearing from listeners just how broken the ADHD (in particular the adult ADHD) diagnostic system is!
We haven’t started this podcast to get internet points, we’ve done it to help others like us.
We get multiple messages daily telling us our ramblings are helping people feel validated and less alone in their suffering, which is incredible! BUT, what we really want is to help (even in a tiny way) to influence systemic change, so that ADHDers that need/want to access medical diagnosis/treatment don’t have to suffer like they are!
This very emotional episode, in which we share just a handful of the countless experiences we get sent, our @adhdasfemales Instagram story poll results, followers suggestions for how to change the broken system, and our own, is fuelled by rage at the injustice of how many undiagnosed adult ADHDers are being treated by medical professionals.
It’s not all ranting and feet stomping though, we promise! This isn’t about pointing the finger, it’s about potential problem solving.. and there is some joy in it too.
ADHDers need help, the NHS needs help, CHANGE IS URGENTLY NEEDED.
We need to come together and understand this crisis from both sides and start a new system to save lives!
*Trigger Warning*
Alongside swearing, this episode contains topics such as medical negligence, false accusations of abuse, body shaming, ADHD denying, severe mental health struggle and suicide.

We are reunited in Aberdeen, after Laura's couple of weeks on the road selling her handmade wears at The Secret Garden Party. Not only does that explain the length of this episode (us neurodivergent neighbours had a lot of catching up to do!) but it also led us to the topic of this Episode.
With Dawn studying 3D Design at University and Laura into her 12th year as a creative entrepreneur with @hathor.hedonism, evidently we are both very much creatives.
However, as we always say - ADHD is not a one size fits all disorder! Though ADHDers share similar struggles and traits; the disability effects us all in different ways.
We decided to challenge this ADHD creative entrepreneur stereotype with a poll for our instagram followers: @adhdasfemales, and it's fair to say we were very surprised by the results. Thanks to all who participated.
We begin this Episode by answering the 'ask us anything' questions from our followers, before diving into the poll and giving our own personal reflections on a topic that definitely holds some weight; but we argue, this could potentially be due in part to RSD as much as anything else.
We share some 'information' from online articles on the topic, one of which makes a claim so untrue, irresponsible and insulting that Laura has a meltdown and shares some choice words for the 'journalist' at multiple points. sorry, not sorry!
We also debunk the myth that ADHD meds destroy creativity.
We conclude with our 'differences', 'the most ADHD thing we have done this week' and some VERY EXCITING news from Dawn!!!!!!!
TRIGGER WARNING: The rage evoked by said article makes this episode even more sweary than usual, so be warned.
We cover some sensitive topics including: Severe mental health issues, depression, anxiety, self loathing, relationship struggles, and people disbelieving and diminishing our invisible disability

Unmasking...how do we do it?! No really!

Trying to unlearn the learnt behaviour of hiding our neurodivergence to ‘fit in’.

In this episode we divulge the stats from our Masking insta Poll {@adhdasfemales} before answering the questions ourselves.

We share the ways in which we have historically masked ADHD, and explore how to take off the mask.

We conclude with our weekly segments; ‘Differences’ to display how differently ADHD can present from person to person and ‘The most ADHD thing we have each done this week’We are so excited to announce our first guest!
Dr James Brown from The ADHD Adults Podcast, Focus Mag (a free online magazine about Adult ADHD) and cofounder of the charity: ADHD Adult UK.
We will be interviewing him for Episode 5.

We're gonna have a party tonight... there's some very special surprises at the end of this episode!
It's both our first Christmas' diagnosed with ADHD; finally having the answers to our lifelong struggles. Will we be able to keep our masks off instead of performing for everyone else?! We'll let you know!
(TW) Here's one for a Christmas cracker -
What do you get when you mix Christmas time with people pleasing tendencies, an inability to manage finances, time blindness, forgetfulness, task paralysis, procrastination, disorganisation, emotional dysregulation, grief, family conflict, trauma, perfectionism, indecision, object/person impermanence, impulsivity, rejection sensitive dysphoria, domestic anxiety, a tendency to leave things to the very last minute, and family, friends and societal pressure?
BURNOUT! ...Funny if it wasn't so true!
Christmas leaves Laura in semi constant nostalgic tears; triggered by everything from Bowie & Bing to Boy George, brass bands and Bill Murray! Despite a childhood spent not believing in Father Christmas, at the age of 39, the magic in the air on Christmas Eve tempts her to check the skies for Santa's sleigh. ADHDer contradictions hey!
Dawn divulges a sentiment shared by many that are single and without children, she finds festive joy in the excitement of her young Nieces. It will be Dawn's first sober Christmas, having been inspired by last week's guest @notsosecretlysober
Anybody else have an irrational hatred of Doctor Who?! Oh, and here's the sexy cake of dreams recipe by Nige!
If it's common for you to have a Christmas meltdown and end the festive period exhausted; check out our ADHD hacks for avoiding Christmas Burnout
If in need call Samaritans
All we want for Christmas is YOU... If you've found this podcast helpful & are in a position to do so, please help us continue to help others by joining our Community. Packages include: vlogs, blogs, live blethers, body doubling and all the chats! If you would prefer you can leave us a tip.

ADHDAF - Episode 2: Is ADHD a Superpower?!!
play

05/10/22 • 54 min

Following on from our ridiculous 'reel'... in this second episode, we explore the social media trend labelling ADHD a superpower.
We discuss both for and against; what our ADHD Superpower would be, and the cost it comes with.
We further explore the idea of trends by addressing the skin-crawling notion that ADHD is a 'cool trend', whilst also celebrating the fact that the disorder, and in particular how it can present in women is getting much-needed exposure.
We conclude with our regular segments: The most ADHD thing we've done this week, and 'Differences' - to highlight how this complex condition is not a one size fits all model. This week we talk about how mobile phones and communication trigger our ADHD in totally different ways, a subject we will deep dive into in a later episode.
