  • This week is a slightly off piste but very special episode. Itā€™s also a much requested episode and we hope weā€™ve done it justice.

    After Meredithā€™s diagnosis last year of ADHD, she had a lot of questions, about 48 years worth of questions and she soon realised so did a lot of other people. ā€¦

    This week on Diary of a Name Dropper is ā€œCoaching with Brookeā€ a leading authority based in Florida on ADHD .

    An epidemic , an awakening, or just realisation that not everyone is Neurotypical ..

    Everything you wanted to know about ADHD but were afraid to ask.
    So Meredith asked.

    On this episode we discuss

    ADHD AutismASDNeurodiversity ADHD diagnosis ADHD medication Masking ADHD in girls Vs boys Adult ADHD in a neurotypical world ADHD and menopause How ADHD manifests Undiagnosed ADHD ADHD parenting
