In this session, Tanya Adkin (she/her) & Louis Bishop-Ford (he/him) talk about their experience of ADHD, and what it means for them in reality. Too often neurotypical people and those who don't have ADHD focus on the attention differences element of ADHD, missing a large number of other experiences people with ADHD have, such as: intense rejection sensitivity; imposter syndrome; sensory issues; working memory loss; etc.

Guest speaker details:
Tanya Adkin (she/her) is a SEND Advocate. Tanya is also a late identified Autistic, ADHD, PDA, single parent to two Autistic/PDA/ADHD children.

Find Tanya and EHCP advice via her page TanyaAdkinAutistic on Facebook (Tanya Adkin - Autistic children and young person's advocate) and group facebook.com/groups/866861860722163 (seND Support - Through a Neurodivergent Lens).

Louis Bishopp-Ford (he/him) was diagnosed Autistic with attention differences as an adult. He believes not knowing he was Autistic when he was younger meant that he could not ask for the support he needed to complete a university education. Louis is a keen gamer, gardener (on the small balcony in his apartment with no garden!), and loves kayaking.
