BONUS: It's never too late to get diagnosed with ADHD

October 21, 2026 · 18 min

Show notes

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.
