A New Way of Being

ADHD: Dr Tony Lloyd


Listen Later

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

    My debut book - Champion Thinking: How to find success without losing yourself - is available for pre-order now. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews from this podcast over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found.
