Episode Synopsis

Episode 64This week I sit down with Matt Gupwell, founder of Think Neurodiversity and co-host of ADHD Talks, to discuss finding your passions and thriving within neurodiversity.Diagnosed with ADHD and autism later in life, Matt unveils how this revelation reshaped his understanding of success and spurred his passion to help to make this journey easier for others than it was for him. We talk about medication, the profound effect a diagnosis can have, and learning to re-centre yourself after a diagnosis. As two people with a mutual passion for sharing reliable SEND information and resources, we discuss navigating misinformation online and highlight the necessity for individuals to proactively seek evidence-based resources. We also critique the deficit-laden narratives surrounding ADHD on social media and encourage neurodivergents to embrace their innate talents. And finally, we discuss the beautiful gift of relearning and redefining success for ourselves, and how to help our children find their own versions. This is an uplifting and open minded conversation and I can't wait for you to hear it.  Click here for Think NeurodiversityClick here for Talk ADHD 💬 Connect with Us 🎄 Early Christmas Gift: Join my free webinar on Keeping Calm During the Holidays 📅 Tuesday 9 December at 12:00 pm (UK time) 👉 Click here to receive the Zoom details. 🌱 Join our SEND Parenting Private WhatsApp Community — a safe space to share, learn, and feel supported by parents who truly understand. ⚡ Ready to go deeper?
