And one of the small things that we will do is to give back.
We all need to give back in whichever way we can.
We have a not-for-profit service for children who can't afford ADHD assessments.
And ultimately what I'm trying to do there is to help level up that disparity that exists.
But we'll also see any of the teachers within that particular school as well.
And for me, any provider...
needs to follow suit.
And I'm more than happy to hear from anyone to collaborate on a mission like that.
And I'm going to use this opportunity to share that with the wider audience.
I think I have an epiphany almost every day.
There is so much information that is being shared.
And we're constantly looking at new research.
We're constantly trying to understand how these different elements start to intersect with one another.
And we keep going back to understanding how do we frame ADHD?
from that traditional typical model that we all have an understanding of and coming to a point where we start to understand it as a brain body condition super complex and invariably we look at seven or eight different elements and we can almost build a profile especially when it comes to
know, ADHD in women, we can almost build a profile by looking at their physical health symptoms because we don't see that pattern existing anywhere else.
But also we see the connection with sensory sensitivities.
And this is the element which really captures my imagination because we see that bridge between
physical and mental, I see it as being that sensory element, especially something called interoception.
I'm not sure whether you've come across that term before.
