Thinking her ADHD diagnosis was the final piece of the puzzle, it turns out Em’s diagnosis only unlocked another cipher as she realised she had more in common with her son Elio than she previously thought.

Customer Reviews
Love this
I love this podcast so much. So much information that’s relevant and interesting. I do find the music at times hard to listen to but maybe it’s trying to let me into the mind of someone who is ND.
So many tears
I have been a fan since idol and this had made me love you even more! You have given me the words for how I’ve experienced life that I could never find. Listen to this has really made it clear for me that a diagnosis is definitely where I want to go. Thank you so much for sharing your experience to help bring light to those of us who don’t fit the stereotypical narrative of what an AuDHD is! 🥰😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have cried tears of happiness, sadness, pain and from no longer feeling like I’m the only one like this! 🥰
A real gift, thank you Em
Wow- what a gift that Em has put out into the world, thank you 💜
