23 and i think so many people get uh an adhd diagnosis at one point in their life and then they finally realize that actually there's more going on and they also have autism and i think the problem somebody faces in that position is that they then don't know what to ask for or they don't know how to advocate for themselves whether that's in their personal life in trying to be productive in their relationships or at work i think it's a very confusing time because they're not only

coming to terms with this new awareness that they're all DHT

rather than just ADHD.

So they're also trying to figure out who they are and therefore really struggle to understand what is going to work for them in terms of benefiting their life.

Yeah, and the first one, and this is going to be quite... I don't think it should be controversial.

I think it's normalizing not having a shower every single day.

I personally do have a shower every day.

I'm very busy.

I'm up and down to London a lot.

I'm very active.

But I think for a lot of people, it's not necessary.

And I feel like there's this kind of unspoken rule that you have to shower every single day.

And that's what everyone does.

That's what humans do.

But...

Speaking to a lot of people in the community, I think that actually getting undressed, getting in water, it's incredibly overstimulating.

It's a sensory nightmare sometimes, having to get soaking wet, having to dry yourself, the time that it takes, the sort of mental energy it takes to think about starting that process.

I feel like unless you...

are a marathon runner or you're extremely active.

I don't think we need to shower every single day sometimes.
