"ADHD is a tornado - and you can get lost in the middle of it" | Ryan Swain | ADHD Beyond the Label

In this episode of ADHD Beyond the Label, Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds talk with radio presenter, DJ and BBC Make a Difference Award recipient Ryan Swain.


"ADHD is a tornado - and you can get lost in the middle of it" is how Ryan explains ADHD when he speaks to kids in schools today. What makes this so powerful is that no one was talking like this when Ryan was a pupil.


Instead of understanding, he experienced exclusion.


Instead of support, he was labelled.


Now, Ryan pours his energy into giving young people what he never had - language, understanding, and permission to learn differently.


ADHD isn't bad behaviour. It isn't a choice. It's a neurobiological condition - and when it goes unrecognised, the damage can last far beyond the classroom.


This conversation reflects not just lived experience, but the impact of turning adversity into purpose - becoming what was missing for others.
