Ellie shares her lived experience of ADHD and autism, commonly known together as AuDHD, and reflects on the unexpected journey that led her into podcasting. What began with a humorous social media mishap has grown into a thriving platform and a Facebook community of more than 50,000 people, all centred around education, connection and support. Jax opens up about their personal healing journey, including their experiences with trauma therapy, learning to establish healthier boundaries and navigating relationships while carrying the effects of past experiences.

    The Great ADHD Myth: An AuDHD Panel Discussion on ADHD, Diagnosis, Medication & Lived Experience

    The Great ADHD Myth: An AuDHD Panel Discussion on ADHD, Diagnosis, Medication & Lived Experience What happens when the people actually living with ADHD get a seat at the table? In this special panel episode of AuDHD and Then Some, Ellie AuDHD Capstick is joined by her co-host Daran, aka Man on Pause, and a diverse panel of voices to discuss and respond to Channel 4’s The Great ADHD Myth. Together, the panel explores some of the biggest and most controversial conversations surrounding ADHD today, including ADHD diagnosis, late diagnosis, ADHD medication, overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis, neurodivergence, mental health, stigma, access to assessment and the reality of living with ADHD and AuDHD. Rather than reducing ADHD to statistics, headlines or a television debate, this conversation puts real lived experience at the centre. The panel shares personal perspectives on what ADHD actually looks and feels like, the impact of spending years without understanding your brain, the barriers people face when seeking diagnosis and support, and why conversations about ADHD need nuance, compassion and the voices of neurodivergent people themselves. Expect disagreement, honesty, humour and some very big conversations. Whether you're ADHD, AuDHD, autistic, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, supporting someone with ADHD, or simply interested in the debate surrounding ADHD diagnosis in the UK, this episode offers perspectives that often get lost in the headlines. ❤️ With ThanksWith so much thanks, gratitude, kindness and appreciation to Chloe-Louise, Abdul-Ahad, Chris Anderson, Mick Miller, and, of course, our fabulous Daran Man on pause. And last but absolutely not least, Angie Rhys. Thank you all so much for giving your time, your voices, your experiences and your perspectives to this conversation. It genuinely wouldn’t have been the same without you. ❤️🌈 🎙️ AuDHD and Then Some, hosted by Ellie AuDHD Capstick Topics include: ADHD, AuDHD, autism, ADHD diagnosis, late-diagnosed ADHD, ADHD medication, neurodivergence, ADHD assessment, ADHD stigma, mental health, lived experience, Channel 4's The Great ADHD Myth, and the ADHD diagnosis debate.

    ADHD, Entrepreneurship and Starting Again with Joshua Griffin

    In this episode, I speak with the inspirational entrepreneur Joshua Griffin about everything from ADHD, school and diagnosis to business success, burnout, debt and starting again. We talk about Joshua’s belief that ADHD can be a superpower when it is harnessed correctly. I agree, but with a very important emphasis on the words “harnessed correctly”, because ADHD can bring incredible drive, creativity and determination, while also making life and business incredibly difficult without the right understanding and support. Joshua shares the honest story behind building a successful company, experiencing major losses and finding himself £35,000 in personal debt. We discuss what that level of debt does to you emotionally, how it can affect your confidence and decisions, and how you begin rebuilding when it feels as though everything you worked for has fallen apart. We also talk about Joshua’s journey back from that point, co-founding his agency Intrinzi and writing his upcoming book, Built It. Nearly Lost It. Built It Again. This is an honest, natural conversation about ADHD, entrepreneurship, resilience and the version of business success that people rarely post online.

    Nervous System Regulation, Sensory Overload & AuDHD Burnout | Ellie & Tasha

    Nervous System Regulation, Sensory Overload & AuDHD Burnout | Ellie & Tasha This month, Ellie and Tasha are back together for their monthly AuDHD & Then Some catch-up — and this one is very real, very candid, and recorded while both of us are feeling a little bit frazzled ourselves. Our theme this month is nervous system regulation, sensory overload and overwhelm in AuDHD, and we're talking openly about what that actually looks like in everyday life. We chat about our own experiences of feeling close to burnout, recognising when our nervous systems are overloaded, what helps us regulate, and the small things we can do when our brains and bodies are screaming, "ENOUGH." We cover: 🌈 AuDHD and nervous system regulation 🧠 ADHD, autism and sensory overload 🔥 Recognising neurodivergent burnout 😵‍💫 Overwhelm, exhaustion and feeling frazzled 💚 Ways we can support ourselves when we're dysregulated 🫶 Recovering from periods of burnout 🎧 Sensory needs and understanding your own nervous system 💬 Our own very real experiences this month ✨ Practical tips and ideas that may help 🌱 What we're working on ourselves — because we definitely don't have it all figured out either!

Members can access resources through our website and our Facebook Subscribers Hub, with resources designed to be downloadable, printable and fillable, so you can actually use them in whatever way works best for your brain. And yes… we were BOTH slightly dreading recording this episode because we're tired, frazzled and feeling the effects of a very busy month. But we showed up. And actually? We're bloody glad we did. 💚 This is what our monthly episodes are about — no pretending we've mastered neurodivergence, no perfect morning routines and no telling you to simply "regulate your nervous system." Just two AuDHD women having an honest conversation about what life looks like when your nervous system has had quite enough, thank you very much. 🎧 AuDHD & Then Some Explore our membership, downloadable resources, tools, information, merchandise and more at audhdandthensome.com.
