Suzi Ruffell: ADHD, Dyslexia and Comedy


Listen Later

I’m so excited to have the LEGENDARY Comedian & Author Suzi Ruffell hop aboard the late ADHD discovery rollercoaster this week!
Despite being diagnosed with Dyslexia as a child, Suzi’s ADHD went undiscovered until very recently. Labelled ‘hyper’ as a child, Suzi found school really difficult, which inevitably led to truancy, which is common for many of us unidentified ADHDers. Suzi has noticed many female Comedians also just discovering their Neurodivergence… could it be the traits of the condition itself, or the result of a lifetime of ADHD going undetected and unsupported that has led so many like her to the profession? Whatever the case I am so grateful to Suzi for giving her time and voice to this platform to help raise crucial ADHD Awareness amidst a global crisis!
