Julie Legg chats with Kiwi screenwriter, actor, and pro wrestling commentator Steve McCleary, best known for his work on Power Rangers.  Steve reflects on his late ADHD diagnosis, tracing the thread from misunderstood childhood behaviours to the clarity that came in adulthood. He shares his pure joy for plot dynamics, his love of the creative process, how he’s redefined success, and how understanding his neurodivergence has reshaped his approach to writing, perspective, and living fully. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone exploring diagnosis later in life, those in creative industries, or anyone seeking permission to love what they love, unapologetically.Key Points from the EpisodeSteve’s journey to adult ADHD diagnosisHow childhood trauma often masks neurodivergenceThe "brake pad" metaphor and the crash of coping mechanismsWhy Power Rangers was the perfect ADHD jobInside the world of ADR, monster voices, and hyper-creative TV writingWrestling, dopamine, and finding your tribeManaging distraction and burnout with intentional creative ritualsRedefining success and choosing joy over judgementEncouragement for newly diagnosed creatives navigating ADHD LinksLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mccleary-9a649ba3/WEBSITE: https://proofreadernz.com/ X: https://x.com/SJMcClearyINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/stevejmccleary/?hl=en Send us a textThanks for listening.
