ADHD AF TITBIT: Neurodiversity & Language with Dr James Brown

It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week so to celebrate, us Neurodivergents have got our Neurodiverse heads together to discuss the language used to describe our Neurodivergence! Get it? Basically, what do all of these words mean?! Is there right and wrong when sharing our own lived experiences and explaining our ADHD? If you prefer 'Neurospicy' or refer to yourself 'as ADHD' rather than having or experiencing the 'disorder'/ 'disability' / 'condition'... Dr James Brown and I celebrate you! The language police can do one! Say what you like, just try not to be a joy thief and show respect to the differences within our diverse community! You say Saltburn, I say Saltbae! Yep, that happened! :)MASSIVE THANKS to Dr James Brown for joining me for another ten(ish) minute micro-interview and to all of The ADHD Adults for their support and  their amazing charity ADHDadultUK.

Late diagnosed ADHDer turned Activist Laura Mears-Reynolds invites you aboard the late ADHD diagnosis roller coaster!   After a lifetime of unknowingly battling a brain disorder and feeling like an alien, I’ve discovered there’s a whole planet of us! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Join me and the Leopard Print Army in  ‘unmasking’ and owning  our ‘TOO MUCH’-ness! With the help of very special guests, including the likes of: bestselling Authors Clementine Ford & Davinia Taylor, ITV This Morning's Dr Nighat Arif,  The ADHD Adults, ADHD Love, Catieosaurus, Life Actuator, BBC Morning Live’s Riyadh Khalaf, Forever Yours Betty, Adulting ADHD and many more! Only an expert by my own lived experience which I share with a hope to help others and push for systemic change so that ADHDers can be treated both medically and with the respect they deserve. Together we will make change happen!
