(Episode 2)
I was joined by Amber Collins, Neurodivergent Amber, to chat about mothering as an autistic - ADHDer. As to be expected when you get two ADHDers together, the conversation bounced all over the place from mothering to advocacy, to gaslighting yourself pre-diagnosis, the pressure of mothering with social media, and so much more.
A special note for those listeners based in England, at 6:00 she highlights how you can go through your health advisor to refer for suspected autism or other concerns, and at 32:00 we talk about the "Right to chose" pathway to get a private but NHS official ADHD diagnosis.
You can follow Amber on the below socials to learn more about her advocacy work and the exciting projects she has coming up!
