What it’s really like living with ADHD.
ADHD is estimated to affect 5% of children globally and between 3%-4% of UK Adults according to The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence website.
And a WebMd article in 2022 suggests that less than 20% of those who have it are in receipt of a diagnoses (based on American Population Data)
• As it has gained attention in recent years, this neurodiversity is something that we all really need to pay attention to. Adults may be struggling through life undiagnosed. Children may be facing hormonal challenges unsupported – but that can change.
• Claire Frewcett joins me today to talk about her lived experience of ADHD. Claire did not receive her diagnosis until the age of 40, although looking back she always knew there was something that made her brain work differently from others.
• Claire is full of joy, hope, motivation and most importantly empowerment. She urges anyone who feels they may have gone undiagnosed to speak with their health care provider – because you don’t have to struggle through life anymore.
• She is also a passionate advocate for those with children who may display symptoms of ADHD to follow it up as soon as possible with the child’s healthcare provider, because School, Social interactions and especially Hormonal changes can pose even bigger challenges for those with possible ADHD than the neurotypical child.
Claire is not medically trained as is simply relaying her experience in order to ensure nobody feels alone if they or their child are feeling like they don’t belong because of the way their mind works. So, let’s jump in and find out more about this fabulous guest and leave knowing our Way Forward.
I’m so glad you are here – thank you for choosing to be with me today.
With Love and Empowerment
