What happens when you finally get a name for your brain after 40 years of not knowing?

This week, Izzy’s joined by Ben Branson - entrepreneur, dad, and founder of The Hidden 20% who shares his powerful story of being diagnosed with autism and ADHD in adulthood.

Hear how that moment changed everything, from how he sees himself to how he parents his neurodivergent daughter.

Find out why so many people are still missed by the system, how masking can hide the signs, and why Ben’s on a mission to close the gap for millions of others.

This podcast contains discussions of adult themes, which some listeners may find distressing.
