BONUS: Can an ADHD diagnosis change the course of your life?

Ever wondered whether an ADHD diagnosis could actually change your life?

Or maybe you’ve only recently been diagnosed - and you’re still trying to work out what ADHD means for you.

This week, to mark ADHD Awareness month, Katie and Sam are joined on “You’re Wrong About ADHD” by ADHD campaigner and speaker Ryan Swain

After being excluded from school, he ended up in alternative provision - but understanding his ADHD became a turning point.

He went on to found 'You, Me and ADHD,' which provides free talks in schools for students and teachers, helping people understand questions like:

What does ADHD actually look like?

Why can it look completely different from one person to another?

How can ADHD affect school, work and everyday life?

And what happens when people with ADHD don’t get the understanding or support they need?

Ryan talks to Katie and Sam about his own experience, his campaigning work - and why the conversation around ADHD is becoming increasingly political.

If you’ve just been diagnosed, you’re waiting for an assessment, you’re wondering whether you might have ADHD, or someone you love does, You’re Wrong About ADHD is for you.

Each week, Katie and Sam explore what life with ADHD is really like, unpack the latest issues affecting ADHDers, and speak to experts who might have some of the answers.
