2.10 How to do academia with ADHD (with guest Dr Alex Conner!)

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show! In this episode, we're going to be talking about all things ADHD with special guest Dr Alex Conner from https://www.adhdadult.uk/. So whether you have it yourself, you think you might have it, you sometimes wonder, or whether you work with, know, or love people who do have ADHD, then you are going to learn so much about how to support yourself and how to support other people. Just to give you a heads up though, before we start there's one very short mention of suicidal thoughts when we're talking about mental health in ADHD. It's not a big topic of discussion, but it does come up, so I wanted to mention it. And there is also a little bit more swearing in this episode than there usually is, so you have been warned!
