"I was really weird, I don't know. Why have they asked me about the toy dock for when I was two? Somewhere where I was happy is a pear tree in a garden in Maydley Road in West London," he says. "It had this old pear tree that we used to climb up whenever our parents were rowing and run downstairs which is what I talk a lot about with my very kind permission from my parents" 'My brother went to the house took a picture of the pear tree and said this is always there, oh oh and so that's where I'm happy, did you?' she adds.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, we bring you a special episode: Shaparak Khorsandi in conversation with Isy Suttie live from Lattitude Festival.
Shaparak joined us to discuss her latest book, Scatter Brain: How I finally got off the ADHD rollercoaster and became the owner of a very tidy sock drawer.
The two also discuss the subtle distinctions between shame and embarrassment, memories of climbing a pear tree, the life-changing power of an ADHD diagnosis, and how being on I’m A Celebrity gave her a spiritual experience.
