Navigating ADHD and Creativity

We’ve got an absolute treat for you in our final episode of the series! Paul and Dr Mine are joined by Scottish satirist, writer, director, and producer Armando Iannucci. Paul’s good friend Armando is best known for creating iconic works like The Thick Of It, Veep, The Day Today, and The Death Of Stalin. Renowned for his sharp wit and political satire, Armando has won numerous accolades, including BAFTAs and Emmys, for his contributions to television and film.

In this very special episode, Armando opens about his ADHD journey and how his adult diagnosis helped him better understand traits that once frustrated him. He talks about his lifelong struggle with deadlines, difficulty responding to messages, and how medication has finally made him feel what he describes as “normal”. It’s a fun episode packed with laughter, incredible storytelling, and heartfelt insights.

A massive thank you to all our listeners for supporting the first series of I’m ADHD! No You’re Not! We’ll be back in mid-January with even more amazing ADHDers. Merry Christmas to all!
