Early Intervention Matters: Spotting ADHD & Autism with Dr. Inyang Takon

If you’ve ever wondered whether your child’s behaviour is typical development or a sign of ADHD, autism or another neurodevelopmental difference, this episode is for you.

In this episode of AuDHD and Then Some, I sit down with Dr. Inyang Takon, Consultant Neurodevelopmental Paediatrician with over 30 years of clinical experience, to discuss the early signs of ADHD and autism, why early intervention matters, and how parents can access the right support.

Together, we explore:

• The early signs of ADHD and autism in children

• When parents should seek an assessment

• What happens during the diagnostic process

• ADHD medication and non-medication support

• Practical strategies for families and schools

• Common myths about neurodivergence

• The impact of culture and stigma on diagnosis and support

• How parents can move from confusion to clarity

Dr. Takon shares compassionate, evidence-based advice that empowers parents, carers and professionals to better understand and support neurodivergent children.

Whether you’re raising a neurodivergent child, working in education, or simply want to learn more about ADHD, autism and early intervention, this conversation is packed with practical insights and reassurance.
