Summary
Why are so many women only finding out as adults that they are neurodiverse?
Host of the hugely successful true crime podcast RedHanded Hannah Maguire sits down with John to talk about her experiences of living with undiagnosed ADHD.
Hannah always had an inkling that her brain worked differently to most people’s, but she was only diagnosed last year aged 33. She discusses why women are under-diagnosed, how a criticism left her bedridden for 3 days, and what impact losing her father at the age of 12 had on her childhood.
On Thursday in our bonus episode The Gratitude List, Hannah shares the 5 things that she is currently grateful for.
