| Episode 36: ADHD and External Stigma | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:29:35 | |
In Episode 36, by far the angriest and sweariest episode yet, the ADHD adults discuss the external stigma associated with ADHD. As you might expect, the fundamentally awful podcast contains some pathetic evidence-based psychoeducation on the external stigma delivered by Alex the Psychoeducation Monkey, as well as James and Alex's personal reflections on the external stigma that many of us have faced (James loses his temper just a touch). The 'Top Tips' section is replaced by the word 'spunktrumpet', 'What did James lose this week?" returns largely just to annoy Alex, and Alex continues to read out 'letters' (Robert from Kidderminster anybody?) as well as welcoming our international listener(s). James goes for the C-bomb record and Alex can't be trusted with a birthday card. Written by James Brown and Alex Conner. Produced by James Brown and JBHD Ltd.

As usual, the least professional podcast in existence has three parts, evidence-based psychoeducation on ADHD and ODD delivered by Alex the Psychoeducation Monkey, James and Alex's personal reflections on the ADHD and ODD and the usual shit show that we ludicrously call 'Top Tips'. Alex continues to read out 'letters' (maybe even one from Robert in Kidderminster?), and welcomes our international listeners. Will Alex continue his winning streak in 'What did James lose this week?" Alex continues to read out 'letters', maybe even one from Robert in Kidderminster. Alex kisses Derek Bowie and James reignites the 'shed load' debate. Written by James Brown and Alex Conner. Produced by James Brown and JBHD Ltd.

Episode 33 of The ADHD Adults sees Tom Watson, former Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, join Alex and James to talk publicly for the first time about his recent ADHD diagnosis. In a frank and light-hearted conversation, Tom shares his diagnosis to increase awareness of the toll that untreated ADHD can cost the individual and society. From a lifetime of messy lockers and lost textbooks to being told off by the General Secretary of the Labour Party for an untidy desk, Tom shares the emotional journey required to reframe a life-time of feeling like “The World’s Hardest Working Lazy Person” with a reason for many of his self-doubts and self-criticisms. Taking inspiration from many sources in the media, such as the Adrian Chiles Guardian article on his own ADHD life as well as getting information and support from the ADHD Adults themselves. Tom talks about the reasons for seeking a diagnosis, the response from his loved ones and the power of getting to grips with discovering he has a neurodevelopmental disorder later in life.

| Episode 30: Cannabis and ADHD | 30 May 2022 | 00:30:30 | |

'What did James lose this week?" returns, will Alex finally become 'above average' at it?
