We are delighted to welcome two of our junior ambassadors to the pod, to talk about their experience as young people supporting the charity.

Go to https://adhduk.co.uk/adhd-uk-ambassadors/ to find out more about the scheme.

Do not adjust your set! We have rebranded to the ADHDUK podcast. We will still cover the science of ADHD but alongside news and interviews from the wider world of ADHD.

We also welcome a new co-host, the amazing Lauren Jennings!

But where is Tess? Listen to find out!

Our last episode for a while... Max talks to Dr Blandine French, who not only found a problem (lack of knowledge in UK doctors about ADHD), she got up and did something about it!

She's remarkable, and you can find out all about her at https://ndlab.org.uk/

Bye for now!

Max is joined by a brilliant double-act, Eve and Helena, who have explored the experience of late-diagnosed women, both from the inside and outside!

The paper is here. The additional data is here.

The episode that Eve liked was with Callie Ginapp, and is here

On Bluesky...

Eve can be found at ‪@chimpanzeve.bsky.social

Helena is ‪@hkobayashiwood.bsky.social‬

Max is also on there somewhere...

Max and Tess are joined by Catherine Fava, Clinical Psychologist at Buckinghamshire CAMHS, to talk about her upcoming book about trauma and ADHD.

How does trauma manifest?

How can it look like ADHD?

Should we be flipping the way we approach assessment and treatment in these children?

Tess tries to open the can of worms which is the whole 'what is ADHD?' question- we have covered that before: https://zencastr.com/z/Mc2qvzd5

Enjoy!

Delighted to welcome Robin Ince, legendary comedian and lovely man, to the pod.

Robin's new book, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, is out today!!

Max is joined by Stephen Becker, Professor of Pediatrics at Cincinnati, about the fascinating Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, a condition that is both in some ways the opposite of ADHD, but also commonly co-exists.

If you want to know more, Stephen has made a lot of the work on this open access- here for example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36007816/

Also, we discover what NFL team Tess supports....

Max is joined by Isabella Barclay to talk about what factors lead to children getting an earlier vs later diagnosis- or even a diagnosis at all.

Isabella is a passionate advocate for ADHD, and needs to be listened to!
