#34 Who’s Who in Adult ADHD: Navigating Assessment, Diagnosis and Support in Australia, with Mariane Power

'I think I might be ADHD. What do you suggest I do first?’ This is by far the most common question I'm asked.

And with increased awareness and story sharing by those, like me, receiving a late diagnosis, I'm not surprised.

In fact - I'm thrilled!

This is a topic close to my heart. In sharing both my clinical insights and lived experience, I hope this solo episode helps to bust some myths and misconceptions circulating about ADHD, and offer you science-backed insights to inform your conversations and self-discovery journeys.
