12. How to get a diagnosis in Australia. Part 2. Interview with Dr Jacinta Thomson

Being a mum is hard enough. Being a mum with ADHD — or raising neurodivergent kids is a whole different level.

ADHD Mums is the unfiltered, science-meets-reality podcast hosted by Jane McFadden, educational neuroscientist, advocate, and mother of three. This isn’t another polished parenting show with 'ten easy tips.' It’s real stories, confessions we’re not supposed to say out loud, and the research that explains why so many of us are running on empty.

Every week you’ll hear:

🎙️ Confessions — raw, anonymous truths from mums navigating rage, burnout, and survival.

🧠 Expert insights — from neuroscientists, clinicians, and policy leaders on ADHD, autism, and mental health.

💬 Advocacy in action — exposing ADHD medication shortages, NDIS red tape, and the hidden costs mothers carry.

With over 1 million downloads already tuning in from across the world, the podcast has already influenced ADHD reforms in Australia, been featured in national media, and pushed politicians to answer the questions mothers are asking.

If you’ve ever screamed in the car, forgotten every form until the night before, or wondered if you’re the only one falling apart — this podcast is your proof that you’re not broken, you’re just telling the truth.
