Welcome to Episode 2 of the ADHD Freedoms Podcast, titled "Diagnosis and Routines". In this episode, we dive into the world of ADHD, diagnosis and the profound impact it can have on one's life. Our conversation with special guest Ceri, author of "The Clockmaker", sheds light on the journey of understanding and embracing neurodiversity, particularly in the context of a late diagnosis.

Key Highlights:

• Internal vs External Routines: We discuss the significance of routines, both self-imposed and externally influenced, and how they affect individuals with ADHD differently.
• The Five-Minute Rule: Delving into practical strategies, we highlight the 'five-minute rule' for managing tasks, an approach that can greatly reduce overwhelm and mental clutter.
• The Role of Community: Emphasising the power of support groups and discussions, we explore how sharing experiences with others can foster a sense of belonging and shared understanding.
• Self-Care and Well-being: The episode underscores the importance of self-care routines and making choices that prioritize personal well-being.
