All three of us for this one, as we take on the Channel 4 documentary "The great ADHD myth?"

If you have been affected by the documentary there is support at ADHDUK, and we also have survey!

We are delighted to be joined by two researchers from University College Dublin who have taken a systematic view of the data on adult ADHD diagnosis, a subject close to all our hearts!

It's a wide-ranging chat with a great celebratory moment at the end!

Their paper, for those who want to dig in, is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42216788/

The rumpelstiltskin paper is also open access: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13150541/

Science is great, isn't it?

Something a little different this week!

We are planning to launch a new feed for our ADHD ambassadors to share their lived experience, and as a preview of this, and to celebrate Pride, here is a conversation with Dhiren and Kathleen about the intersection of ADHD and LGBT+ idenitities!

Back to normal programming next week!

We welcome Dean Paton, founder and CEO of Big Heritage, to talk about his journey with ADHD, his passion for history and archaeology, and how he ended up owning a U-Boat!

Check out the great stuff they are doing at https://bigheritage.co.uk/

Max is joined by Sarah Rudebeck, who studied memory as a clinical psychologist, noticed how many bad products there are out there to support memory (or not) and decided to build her own!

The paper we talk about is https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7210977/

We are joined by Mark Pattinson, CEO of CareADHD, to talk about innovation in running ADHD services, right to choose and the future of ADHD care.

We also welcome a new presenter to the team, Jamie Gordon!

That's it for this week. More soon!

We are delighted to welcome two of our junior ambassadors to the pod, to talk about their experience as young people supporting the charity. 

Go to https://adhduk.co.uk/adhd-uk-ambassadors/ to find out more about the scheme.

Do not adjust your set! We have rebranded to the ADHDUK podcast. We will still cover the science of ADHD but alongside news and interviews from the wider world of ADHD. 

We also welcome a new co-host, the amazing Lauren Jennings!

But where is Tess? Listen to find out!

Our last episode for a while... Max talks to Dr Blandine French, who not only found a problem (lack of knowledge in UK doctors about ADHD), she got up and did something about it!

She's remarkable, and you can find out all about her at https://ndlab.org.uk/

Bye for now!
