ADHD Chatter · Oxford Psychiatrist: The Fastest Way To Cure RSD! (New Research) · 4 May 2026 podcast

Oh, do you have a reserve one in your head?

Well, I think what you're talking about is absolutely fascinating.

So...

What I find fascinating is what you're talking about in terms of the accents, in that we think about ADHD and we think about autism, but we often forget about tics and Tourette's.

Tics and Tourette's are a very important part of neurodivergence.

And you know, as we were talking about the anger, that sort of impulsivity, in Tourette's you have this combination of impulsivity and compulsivity.

So this idea of being compelled, you know, it's almost as though you don't have a choice.

And it's also in the

And one of the features, so people think Tourette's is swearing.

I mean, that is actually the vast majority of people who have Tourette's do not swear at all.

But what they may have is stuff called, I think it's a great word, echo phenomenon.

So this is where you might start mirroring someone's body language, completely subconsciously, might start mirroring, you might start doing the same, you might start mirroring accents, right?

So if you're in a conversation with someone, and I have this sort of issue sometimes, if I'm talking to maybe someone from Australia, suddenly developing an Australian intonation, and it's really embarrassing.

But that kind of contagious element is really interesting.

And I...

That echo phenomena, so body language, accents, it can also, I think, apply to people's moods.

So you can kind of have this feeling, and this happens sometimes on psychiatric wards or in schools, that there is almost like people mirroring other people's moods.

Which, as I was talking about, you know, you can see the bits of the brain when you're mirroring.

So that is a very...

a thing that we just don't talk about a lot.
