If you're ADHD, your executive function level is about a 30% deficit age-wise from a neurotypical brain.

A 20-year-old, their executive function skills might be 30% to 40% their age younger.

So you're actually dealing with like a kind of 12-year-old, which is why you might have teenagers and you're thinking, why is this not working?

You don't grow out of your executive function difficulties.

I think you just find ways to manage it.

Hester Granger is the ultimate ADHD coach and viral sensation spreading her ADHD message to millions online as an ADHD advocate and renowned public speaker she is an expert in all things ADHD our ADHD brains don't have enough dopamine cleaning and sorting and life admin is really really boring so we can think of a hundred things as much more fun the idea of little and often or doing a little bit every day is wonderful in principle but I do think that there are better ways

I think there's two things there.

You've got the shame of not actually doing it, but also the shame of...

Thank you.

Thank you for having me.

Yes, yeah.

I think it's been a couple of years now, and I was on tour last year, so I did 27 dates in theatres with a show called ADHD Unmasked, and then I'm going to go on tour later again this year with a show called ADHD Unfiltered.

It's been busy, but it's good to be back.

Do you know what?

It was a lot.

But equally, I've got an amazing husband, Kelly.

He was at home sorting the kids out, sorting all the pets out.

So actually, I feel slightly spoiled that I was just away.

I could just concentrate on the show.

Obviously, I went home, etc.
