JOIN US FOR A WEBINAR for Neurodivergent Couples. Happening online February 12 at 8PM UK. Replay is available.

Ever feel like your brain is sprinting, even when you are sitting still? Like you can be everyone’s friend, but still feel a little… untethered? In this episode, we talk about what it is like to be late-diagnosed with ADHD, how overthinking turns into assumptions, and why the smallest supports can be thelp you breathe again.

Today on Neurodivergent Conversations, I’m joined by Graham, an author (including Babies Don't Talk), entrepreneur, and one of the humans behind ADHD Central, a brand analog supports for ADHD brains.

We chat about the real, everyday stuff that so many late-diagnosed adults quietly carry, like:

why “Do I want to do this… or does my ADHD?” is a game-changing question

how rejection sensitivity can spiral when your brain fills in the gaps

why not making assumptions (and actually asking) can save so much heartache

the unexpected power of walking, slowing down, and giving yourself grace

how paper-based “external brain” tools can ger head and into the real world, without another app buzzing at you

If you are navigating adult ADHD, neurodivergent just craving tools that feel doable, this one is going to land.
