ADHD: Dr Tony Lloyd

What is ADHD? How does it manifest and display in people? Is it time to stop calling it a disorder? Dr Tony Lloyd is chief executive of the ADHD Foundation, which I am delighted and honoured to have become a patron of. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, and it had a big impact on me. So much of my life, looking back, now makes more sense. And so i wanted to really dig deep into the topic with Tony, who is a fountain of neurodiverse knowledge. In this episode we discuss: ADHD scepticism What ADHD is and how it presents The key traits of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity Why leading organisations like Tesla are actively recruiting neurodiverse people seeking a 21st century advantage Why the way we educate children needs a similar upgrade ADHD and relationships Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria ADHD comorbidities, including anxiety and autism Executive functioning Self-care and managing ADHD ADHD and shame The challenge people can have getting a diagnosis Treating neurodiverse people the same as other diverse groups The ADHD Foundation: https://www.adhdfoundation.org.uk/ The Rethinking ADHD podcast: https://podfollow.com/rethinking-adhd Qbtech Objective ADHD tests: https://www.qbtech.com/ My debut book - Champion Thinking: How to find success without losing yourself - is available for pre-order now.
