Join Anna Kennedy for an inspiring conversation with Lois Diamond, who shares her powerful journey of receiving an ADHD diagnosis at age 32. Lois opens up about how behaviors that were misunderstood throughout her childhood – like being unable to sit still and constantly asking ‘why’ – finally made sense through the lens of her diagnosis. Her story reveals the common experience of late diagnosis in adult women and how understanding ADHD transformed her self-perception from feeling ‘bad’ to embracing her neurodiversity with pride. This engaging discussion explores the crossovers between ADHD and autism, the challenges of accessing proper mental health care, and the importance of looking beyond labels to understand individual experiences. Lois, now a passionate mental health advocate working on children’s care investigations across multiple countries, demonstrates how neurodivergent individuals can channel their unique traits into meaningful advocacy work. Her message of empowerment and acceptance offers hope to parents wondering about their children’s behaviors and adults seeking answers about their own neurological differences.
