In this episode Katie and Sam look at your questions and stories.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD can be life changing, a chance to take control and change the habits and behaviours that have made life difficult but accepting that you have ADHD can take a long time.

Realising that all the scaffolding you'd used before to just about make life work has been stripped away and now it's time to start again can be really daunting. Finding new ways to do things is a journey that includes accepting what works for you one day can change the next.

Katie and Sam look at how painful and confusing that time after diagnosis can be, with questions like 'now what?' and 'who am I?' They talk about how things have changed for the better for both of them and discuss how this long journey can have a positive outcome.

How often do you hear people say: 'I've probably got ADHD but it's too late to do anything about it now.' Parents and grandparents who are finding out members of their family have ADHD aren't always keen to turn the lens on themselves. It can be frightening and unsettling to think you've lived with ADHD your whole life but a diagnosis can also be life changing.

In this episode, Sam and Katie speak to Gill, who was a midwife and got in touch to say she'd been diagnosed with ADHD after retirement and it's given her a new outlook on life.

They discuss, what it's like coming to terms with an ADHD diagnosis later in life and how it can change how you communicate in your relationships.

Some of the biggest challenges for managing ADHD are regulating our attention, emotions and impulses.

In this episode, James Farrell, who runs The Natural Coaching Company, speaks to Katie and Sam about the benefits of getting outside for our mental health and wellbeing. James coaches people with ADHD through a process informed by our relationships with the natural world.

Being calm and still can be a challenge when you have ADHD but the natural world can offer help in ways perhaps we don't even realise.

Whether it's going for a walk, enjoying the beauty of nature or just being still, this episode looks at how these things can benefit an ADHD brain.

In this episode Katie and Sam look at your ADHD stories and questions.

As an ADHDer do you find yourself immediately saying no to any request only to then change your mind when you've calmed down?

It can be hard getting a balance to life - not putting too much pressure on ourselves but also not making rash decisions that confuse our friends and family!

Also: the fatigue that comes with ADHD (why we're always exhausted) and is doing half a task and then moving on to the next one multi tasking or forgetfulness?

ADHDers often rely on stress to get things done but imagine life with triplets and a toddler like one listener who has got in touch.

And: Katie and Sam look at the absurdity of ADHD - can we have a sense of humour about ourselves?
