That's the key thing.
I'm not sure how to answer this question now, unless you've really put me on the spot, because I'm so useless.
I don't even know how to use a washing machine, never mind leave the clothes inside it.
So hands up.
Yeah, I'm the least domesticated human being you'll ever meet.

I think this applies not only to women.
I think it's society in general, people who are seeking diagnosis.
There is, over the last five years, certainly a lot more awareness, a lot more understanding of ADHD, and there are pros and cons to that, dare I say it.
A lot of what we've talked about in terms of misdiagnoses, the explanations that haven't, the narratives that haven't quite fit, and certainly even the interventions that have been provided, the treatments, the medications, the therapies, have been ineffective.
many people are now understanding and certainly relating to adhd a lot more the demand on the system is significant to the point where there's there is no more capacity and again i'll go back to what i said before what will a diagnosis give you if it's the label
And I know that many people will say it's not about the label.
It's about the narrative.
It's about that validation.
But there's a lot that you can do before that.
Look at credible sources of information.
Look at educating yourself.
Look at coaching techniques.
These are things that all of us, regardless of whether you have ADHD or not, can benefit from.
