This episode focuses on the barriers that neurodivergent people experience when accessing healthcare, with a focus on ADHD and Tourette Syndrome. We discuss the importance of ensuring support is accessible for neurodivergent people.

We are joined by the University of Nottingham researchers Dr Blandine French and Dr Maddie Groom, alongside Mat, who shares his experiences of getting an ADHD diagnosis, and his opinions on the research discussed.

To complement this episode, we have written a short brief summarizing the research and offering a "call to action" to promote meaningful change. You can read the brief here.
