41. High Camouflaging ADHD and Autism with Millie Carr

Jane interviews Millie (one of her favourite guests) on masking and highly camoflaging ADHD and ASD in females. Millie is a teacher based in Melbourne, she has ADHD and has neurodiverse children herself. Highlights- Can labelling be positive, why is there the hesitation?- Should we talk to our kids about their ADHD?- The trend towards successful celebrities or sports people being labelled neurodiverse.- The correlation between success and neurodiversity. - What is the personal cost of perfectionist behaviour and ADHD.- Highly perfectionist children (or typically girls) who are conscientious are hard to identify. - Physical 'symptoms' of being unwell for girls are often presented as anxiety such as stomach aches. - Children's perception vs reality negative view on their lives- Girls presenting with social issues can be an indicator- Where can you find people who understand how ADHD presents in females? What can we do to improve that? - Jane goes out of scope as per usual and speculates on prescribing rights and the Australian medical system which she has no business speculating on.*Jane and Millie are not medical experts and you should always seek your own advice*Check out Millie's other episodes here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Q3lfxlmvcaFVRuYkaxzHl?si=dmWW1YlbTk-PtgHgH_buRAMasking ADHD in girls questionnairehttps://www.additudemag.com/self-test-adhd-symptoms-women-girls/--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jane-mcfadden/messageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Mentioned in this episode:🎁ADHD MUMS PROGRAM LINK🎄Four short audios.
