Did you know that many people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, even in childhood, may also be living with undiagnosed ADHD? ADHD and dyslexia are distinct conditions that frequently overlap, confusing the nature of these two conditions. It is (very cautiously) estimated that 30% of those with dyslexia have coexisting ADHD. Neurodiversity experts now believe that neurodivergence NEVER travels alone, meaning that there will always be at least another coexisting condition.

So, if you have an ADHD diagnosis, there's a high chance of another overlapping neurodiversity, such as dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia and vice versa. ADHD doesn't cause dyslexia; it's simply a co-existing trait. Likewise, if you have a dyslexia diagnosis, get curious about whether ADHD may also be in the mix, especially if you have suffered from other issues such as overthinking, anxiety, RSD or PMDD.

This week's guest is Natalie Brooks, founder of Dyslexia in Adults, a company that aims to help ambitious dyslexic adults thrive in the workplace.

On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Natalie speak about:

  • Natalie's experience of growing up with dyslexia
  • Natalie's dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD journey
  • The interplay of ADHD and Dyslexia
  • Looking at the intersectionality of neurodiversity
  • Taking a more holistic approach to diagnosis
  • How dyslexia shows up for different people
  • What you can ask for at work when you have dyslexia
  • Dealing with other people's expectations of you when you are Dyslexic
  • Natalie's dyslexic role models
