I am, however, so happy that charities like this are playing a vital role in helping people understand neurodivergence and the subsequent support that hopefully follows.

Audhd Mum from NZ to three ND kids. Thank you for this amazing podcast that keeps me up to date with current thought on ADHD and other ND matters.
Thanks! This podcast is amazing. Ben is a great host!! Best wishes from Germany :-)
I have listened to two episodes now and this podcast is excellent.
The guests I have listened to are so knowledgeable and the interviewer asks great, clear incisive questions.
I am hooked. Thank you so much.
I’ve been listening for exactly a year thanks to my neurodivergent husband’s recommendation… The level of understanding I now have is incredible. I feel like I’m in a parallel and better universe than I was a year ago. It’s not just my partner I better understand it’s also many others around me and, likely, myself. I’m so grateful.
I just listened to the latest episode: Sam (Ben’s wife) and Ben’s 2nd interview…. This is my beyond thank you point. The level of vulnerability, utter bravery and i... more
