Meet Angie. She was diagnosed with ADHD before it was cool. She grew up in Far North Queensland on a large property, where running amok was considered “normal” and hyperactivity was something that you just burned off outdoors before coming in for dinner.

 In this episode we chat about:

• The wait times for getting assessed.
• The sudden rise in adult ADHD diagnoses, and why that can be a double edged sword.
• Misconceptions around ADHD (there’s still such a lack of awareness out there!).
• Her family’s reactions to her ADHD diagnosis.
• Why she went from being anti-medication to later finding it helpful.
• Self-acceptance and self-compassion.
• Becoming an advocate for the ADHD community.
