    It can be really destabilising when someone you know questions or even dismisses your ADHD.

    Aside from being awkward and frustrating, those conversations can cause major self doubt when you've been trying so hard to manage life.

    In this episode, Katie and Sam speak to Kat Brown, author of It’s Not a Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult, about how to tackle those awkward conversations head on, without being confrontational (well, maybe a bit).

    Kat also talks about being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how she had to learn acceptance after a lifetime of feeling different.

    This is a really encouraging episode for anyone newly diagnosed or anyone starting to grow weary of the constant debates around ADHD.

    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.'

    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?

    Ryan talks to Katie and Sam about his own experience, his campaigning work - and why the conversation around ADHD is becoming increasingly political.
