E83 | "I wish I had known" - Mum on how undiagnosed ADHD/autism affected our family
About this episode
Mum Karen discusses the impact of undiagnosed ADHD and autism on her family and reflects on her experiences raising Ellie and Paige.
Our Mum Karen joins us again to share her experiences bringing on bringing us up as undiagnosed kids - and managing our Dad who was also undiagnosed - leading to an absolute mad-house! Mum opens up about what she'd do differently, how Dad's ADHD diagnosis kicked off a domino effect through the whole family, and what it's meant for her to watch us finally understand ourselves. She shares how tough it was trying to get help for Paige, getting no answers and Paige reflects on how those experiences impacted her and her self esteem. We get a little emotional in this one, and we hope it helps other families feel less alone. LINKTREE Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
