Supporting ADHD Parents to Help Ourselves AND Our Children

The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

Navigating the ADHD diagnostic pathways while being neurodivergent is not easy. It can be incredibly challenging when we're also doing this to support and advocate for our children. Understanding our stories and beliefs about how ADHD has shown up for ourselves allows us to recognise the power of advocating for new stories to show up for the next generation.

This week's guest, Dr Tom Nicholson, lectures at Northumbria University and is a Neurodiversity and mental Health Specialist who has delivered hundreds of speaking events and guest lectures on ADHD, Mental Health, Neurodiversity, and Neuroinclusion.

On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Tom Nicholson speak about:

• The Stories we are told as we grow up that have become beliefs
• Tom's support from his mother's advocacy
• Tom's experience in education and the attitudes toward ADHD in the 90s
• The different archetypes of ADHD mothers
• Needing more awareness and advocating and less overhyped celebration of ADHD
• Empowering Parents with the best way to help their ADHD children
• The positive power of teaching
• How to interact with the educational system with ADHD
• Being High-achieving and being 2E alongside ADHD and Autism
• Burnout alongside neurodivergence
• Navigating a neurodivergence diagnosis within the healthcare system
