AuDHD... Or just a bit weird..?

Approximately 18 billion years ago I had a really good mate called Blair who was a fellow quirky person with an awesome sense of humour and never judged me for being my weirdy self. Over the years we lost touch and I always wondered what became of them... until one day a few weeks ago when Blair turned up in my "people you may know" on Instagram... Without hesitating (naturally impulsive nature anyone?!) I added Blair and got chatting... and would you believe it.... Blair was diagnosed with ADHD 2 days after me!!! I'm thrilled that Blair was happy to come on the podcast so we could catch up and talk about how we are feeling post diagnosis. Please note that this is a very candid chat between two old mates who hadn't seen each other in an age. We cover a ton of topics and I'm so grateful for Blair coming on the podcast to share their story. Blair is a Scottish vocal coach, lecturer, songwriter and performance artist based in South London. They are the founder and artistic director of Errata, London’s Queerest Choir and collaborates frequently with LGBTQIA+ choirs and vocal groups. Blair is currently studying a PhD, creating cabaret performances and is the mother of all cats.Send me your little wins so I can celebrate you on the podcast by either sliding into my DMs ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on instagram⁠or email me at audhdorjustabitweird@gmail.com Find your local ADHDAF+ peer support group ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can help support The Big ADHD Fundraiser by buying a Dave Kirkman hoodie ⁠⁠⁠here!⁠⁠⁠

I am so lucky that Emma agreed to come on the podcast and share her experience of adult ADHD diagnosis. In this first part we go off on about a billion tangents, forget what we are saying halfway through sentences but also talk about everything from Emma's first realisation that she is neuro divergent up to getting her formal diagnosis.
