This episode focuses on something I’m contacted about more than almost anything else — the experience of being a parent whose child is going through the ADHD diagnosis journey.
My guest is Grant Wilson, a father whose openness, humility and courage in sharing his family’s story has touched me deeply. Grant and I first got in touch when a friend shared some of my early ADHD reels and podcasts with him, and he reached out to say they’d helped him and his son. That simple act of encouragement, along with messages from others like him, played a huge part in giving me the confidence to take the leap from short videos to podcasting. Having him on the show now feels like a full-circle moment.
Grant speaks with honesty about what it was like when the school first suggested his son might have ADHD, how he and his wife navigated the emotional rollercoaster that followed, and the moment they realised just how much their son had been struggling beneath the surface. It’s a story of love, learning and transformation that every parent on this path will recognise.
In this episode, we cover topics including:
-
The challenges parents face when navigating the ADHD diagnosis system in the UK.
-
The emotional journey of coming to terms with a child’s diagnosis.
-
How small, practical accommodations can make a big difference day to day.
-
What happens when understanding leads to empathy — and healing for the whole family.
-
Why Grant’s experience inspired him to encourage others to share their own stories.
