I'm Glad You Exist

IGYE 25 - Lorna Ashcroft


Listen Later

Guess who's back, back again, IGYE back, tell literally everyone.

I think I've used that opening line before... oh well, no one reads these anyway.

LORNA ASHCROFT is on the podcast!

We're chatting about Lorna's late-in-life ADHD diagnosis (which is relative compared to those who are getting their own diagnosis after well past their 50's), and how mapping it backwards she can see how an adolescence of complications could've been better understood as the trappings of ADHD, but instead became all too common masking traits and a sense of being 'less than'.

ADHD diagnosis amongst adults are becoming more and more common, although the infrastructure to get these important tests done are still far from acceptable in terms of time and access to professionals. 

If you're interested in learning more about ADHD then there'll almost certainly be local resources available to you, and a conversation with your GP is always recommended. I'm also informed TikTok has a huge ADHD community, so if you're on the tok, go check that out!
