Shappi Khorsandi explores late ADHD diagnosis and shares many lessons she’s learnt. This episode is painfully relatable, but also full of hope, humour and insight.

Shappi is a comedian, author, speaker and advocate for human rights.

00:00 Trailer 

02:48 When was your earliest memory of feeling different?

10:30 You were diagnosed at 47? Why did it take so long for you to receive a diagnosis?

14:28 What clicked into place when you heard the words "You have ADHD"?

26:44 You have a great analogy about Tarzan and ADHD, can you explain this for our audience?

33:05 Being diagnosed with ADHD and being a comedian - the creative comedy mind of which is constantly flipping from thought to thought (and I'm sure the two go hand in hand) - but how did this fluid nature of the way the brain works serve in holding down jobs & relationships?

47:52 Moving around a lot when you were younger, changing country, feeling "foreign", facing racism, having ADHD, being shy, that's a lot to deal with for someone who is likely to be emotionally sensitive? What do you think the most testing part of your life has been as far as RSD is concerned?

53:21 What did/do your parents think about ADHD and everything that it entails?

57:30 The ‘ADHD item’ segment 

01:03:26 Washing machine of woes 

01:09:01 A very personal question and one you don't have to answer of course, but what is the process of a relationship coming to an end and then the subsequent divorce like for the chaotic mind of someone with ADHD?

01:14:33 Do you think that everything you've been through - including your late diagnosis - has helped you build your career?

01:17:41 Where would you be in life without your sense of humour and what purpose does your sense of humour serve in softening the blow of everything we've spoken about already!

01:19:35 A wedding day story 

01:23:14 Being very much an outsider through Neurodivergent means and, back when you came to the UK, feeling like an outsider through race too, do you have an explanation in a nutshell that might best describe how ostracised a person would feel, and did feel, in that scenario?

Alex chats with Matt Hancock, the former UK Health Secretary, on a range of important issues affecting the Neurodivergent community.

Topics:

00:00 Trailer

01:28 How much consideration was there for the neurodiverse community when considering putting the country into Lockdown

04:56 In the past few years you've come up against a lot of pressure, did that give you a new sense of empathy with regards to people who have felt misunderstood their whole life, i.e in this case, the neurodivergent community?

08:25 Washing machine of woes

10:22 You've been outspoken about Dyslexia, but do you think you stray into the realm of any other neurodivergent behaviours? 

13:47 How is it that a clearly very bright person such as yourself can miss being dyslexic until the age of 18 or 19?

15:26 What measures can be taken within the schooling system to make sure these Neurodivergent behaviours are recognised from an earlier age?

16:27 Advice to parents if the school doesn’t take neurodiversity seriously

20:41 How do you think not being diagnosed impacted your personal progression and development?

26:45 How can teachers identify the unique learning requirements of individual children

30:42 What plans would you enforce to reduce the NHS ADHD diagnosis waiting list?

35:31 What would you say to a child that feels ‘different’

38:25 How parents can help their child find their passion

39:35 When you were Health Secretary, did you think ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions were taken seriously by the powers that be and if not, why do you think that was?

41:36 Much like ADHD, I think people can often have a reductive view on what Dyslexia is. What do you think is involved in Dyslexia that people don't know about? 

46:00 I don't know what the exact statistics are, but around 0.5% of the population went to Oxbridge. You were at Oxford and openly say you have dyslexia. Even with that holding you back, what is it about the rest of your brain that got you into the most prestigious university in the world?

48:14 You must have seen neurodivergent people at Oxford with some incredible minds, diagnosed and presumably undiagnosed. Do you think excelling to an unusual degree, in one particular area, is actually dependent on neurodivergence? 

48:56 I remember reading an interview with an ex-CIA agent who said the CIA are predominantly made up of Neurodivergent people and I can only assume it's true of the MI5 because they have a propensity to connect ideas that a cognitively typical person wouldn't. If Neurodivergence is such a beneficial force if channelled correctly, why has screening taken so long to employ in schools?

53:45 Should people put ADHD on their CV

56:44 What can we all do to convince companies of the benefits of a neurodivergent workforce

60:25 Why have the neurodiverse community been missed for so long

01:04:06 ADHD item

01:05:06 What has the last 5 years taught you about humanity?

01:06:09 Closing advice for the neurodivergent community
