The Hidden 20% - Chelcee Grimes & Dr Tony Lloyd on ADHD
play

03/20/24 • 58 min

To celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week we are excited to welcome two HUGE guests to THE HIDDEN 20%.


Introducing the 'slash-slasher' - Footballer, Songwriter, Artist, Television Presenter and Pokemon Enthusiast - Chelcee Grimes. Chelcee is an ADHD megastar who pens hits for Dua Lipa by day, presents for the BBC by day and also holds up the midfield by day. By night, she's curled up in pyjamas looking at her Charizard shiny and refusing to go to networking events - because let's face it, if you had 3+ jobs & a neurodivergent brain you'd do the same too.


ADHD Foundation's Dr Tony Lloyd is a megalith in neurodiversity having held the position of CEO in the ADHD Foundation since 2011. The ADHD Foundation is the UK's leading neurodiversity charity, offering a strength-based, lifespan service for the 1 in 5 of us who live with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, DCD, Dyscalculia, OCD, Tourette's Syndrome and more. Dr. Lloyd is a seasoned Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, with substantial expertise in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and educational environments.


Dr Tony Lloyd diagnosed Chelcee Grimes with ADHD himself - their relationship is truly special and we were honoured to have them appear together on THE HIDDEN 20%.
