Episode 9: Dr Alex Conner
Episode description
This is a really special one! In this episode, we interview the other half of the duo who inspired us to start this podcast with theirs - The ADHD Adults Podcast.
Dr Alex Conner:
- Reader in Biomedical Science Communication at the University of Birmingham Medical School
- Co-founder of the charity ADHD Adult UK
- Co-founder of Focus, a free online magazine about Adult ADHD
- Co-host of the aforementioned podcast with Dr James Brown (ADHDAF Episode 5), which continues to be an enormous help to us both on our late ADHD diagnosis journeys
- executive ADHD coach.
- Such a lovely man we forgot we were interviewing and launched into a ranty and potentially controversial ‘chat’
Alex assured us that it’s ok to share an opinion, especially with the disclaimer that we are NOT IN ANY WAY EXPERTS! As ever, we are new to all of this and trying to find the answers to all of the questions that pop up whilst we ride the late ADHD diagnosis rollercoaster.
We are SO GRATEFUL to Alex for this emotional ‘interview’ / chat! THANK YOU!
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do.
*TRIGGER WARNING*
This is very sweary, and we mention mental health crisis, drug and alcohol abuse, controversial opinions about diagnosis and medication issues.
