Perfectly Autistic - Neurodiversity in the workplace

My secret to having a happy neurodivergent family

I was recently asked to join Alex Partridge on his podcast ADHD Chatter. So I headed to a podcast studio in Battersea and chatted for an hour about all things neurodiversity.

We covered how my ADHD has influenced my parenting style and the affect of undiagnosed ADHD on friendships and relationships.

I also talked about the secret to a successful neurodivergent relationship - I don’t claim to be an expert by any means, but I’ve been married to my autistic / ADHD husband Kelly for 16 years now and we’ve been together for 22 years.

In true oversharing style, it was actually our wedding anniversary last week. I had a card made saying Happy 17th wedding Anniversary. I had manage to completely miss a year of our marriage! Thankfully Kelly found it very funny!


I also discuss RSD, parenting neurodivergent children, my secret to being a happy family and much more.

I would love you to have a listen and let me know what you think!
