It's this unregulated flow of ideas and planning but without a kind of task goal-orientated kind of end to it.

And that's really typical of ADHD and we don't always realize that that's what we're doing

because we're just the ideas people and that's why in the

creative industry as well we thrive but we can also really really flounder because we

don't have the executive function a lot of the time to actually go from the idea to the actual finished thing that's out in the world. I'm going to do you know.

And the new. And the Hey everybody I know when we have guests who talk about neurodiversion ideas people get really

excited because they feel seen and heard and so when Abby reached out to me it's like

Chris I have ADHD I talked to people about ADHD and creativity. I was thinking this is a perfect opportunity. So Abby, welcome to the show and please introduce yourself and tell us a little story about who you are, what you do. Okay, my Chris, thanks for having me on.

So, my name is Abby Lemon.

I'm an ADHD coach for creatives.

I was a creative myself for many years.

I worked in publishing magazine design and had my own business as well and

Really felt the call after my own ADHD diagnosis to support other people in the creative industry because the more people I spoke to

either ex-colleagues or peers or people that have worked for me as freelancers all seem to be

experiencing a lot of the same symptoms of ADHD, the same sciences of the

neurodivergences as well. So it really feels like it's something that is probably quite

prolific across any kind of creative industry I think with with our kind of

super-powered brains. What made you suspicious you might have an ADHD brain and

then what kind of test did you take to make sure that you do have it?

So I guess I've always been fairly hyperactive a little bit. I talk very fast.

I've had an awful lot of experiences I guess that. talk very

early age.
