Summary

Episode 115 with Lauren Yuile.

“My friend had this really good analogy: It’s like all this time you were trying to put a puzzle together without the lid of the box. And finally someone has given you the lid.”

Lauren is a speech pathologist who lives in Sydney, Australia. She supports children and young adults with difficulties in different areas of communication, such as using and understanding language, using clear speech, reading, writing and social communication. In this role, she has worked with people with various co-occurring diagnoses, most commonly Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or ADHD. Lauren believes everyone has the right to a voice and she’s passionate about helping people understand the impact of communication disorders and receive the support they need.

We talk about the similarities and differences between developmental language disorder and ADHD, and the importance of presumed competence and a strengths-based approach to learning for neurodivergent children.

Lauren has always felt different and misunderstood in her life, and suddenly everything made sense when she received her own diagnosis of ADHD earlier this year. Since then, she has endeavored to learn more and understand herself more deeply and she shares how this journey has made her a better speech pathologist.

Hello and welcome to the women and ADHD podcast. I'm your host, Katie Weber. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45,

1:49.6

and it completely turned my world upside down. I've been looking back at so much of my life, school,
