The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

And that's quite confronting for people in your lives, I think, sometimes.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Yeah, but for a long time, and I probably still am, you're straddling these two worlds, your old world and your new world, because, you know, it's habit to just be a certain way.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

And so it's quite destabilising.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Yeah, but definitely more a freedom, I think.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

I think definitely more a freedom.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

But I do want people to know that it is a process and it can get a bit worse before it gets better.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

I didn't have this, but for a lot of people who are late diagnosed, there's a lot of grief and anger.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

And that takes a bit of time to work through.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

But I think for our parents, for our generation, they didn't know, you know, like the awareness has grown so much.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Was it maybe in the States?

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Yeah.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Yeah.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Our parents did the best they could.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

Totally.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

So then what happens, and this is where, you know, for a lot of women it becomes anxiety and depression, and I'm totally generalising here, but for a lot of males...

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

If you're told the way you are is wrong from an early age, that has massive impacts.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

You're going to then go, well, I am wrong.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

I am wrong.

The Little Things
When ADHD and perimenopause collide

There's people, there's teachers, parents, whatever, telling me that I am wrong.
