ADHD Chatter

Sarah Templeton is a passionate advocate for adolescents and adults with either unrecognised, and therefore undiagnosed, or late diagnosed ADHD. She has seen the catastrophic effects of the condition not being diagnosed early enough. Her decades volunteering and working with the homeless, serving & ex-offenders and with addicts had flagged up the disproportionately high amounts of ADHD in these groups; who have such an easily treatable condition which had been allowed to destroy their lives. Purely because nobody including teachers, CAMHS, GPs, probation, the police and prison services and charities working in the sectors haven’t spotted it.Topics: 00:00 Intro and Sarah's diagnosis story 03:56 What's Dyscalculia?06:37 The myth of 'only boys can have ADHD'10:44 Can parents rely on schools to spot ADHD?13:35 How to spot ADHD in kids15:15 Should you speak to your child about ADHD?18:02 What NOT to say to an ADHD child27:48 Benefits of an early diagnosis (crime prevention)30:24 ADHD traits + criminality35:48 Should prisoners be screened for ADHD?51:35 When people say 'ADHD is just a trend'54:04 Is ADHD a 'disorder' 56:06 Your most impulsive thing?58:44 Tips for managing an ADHD kid at ChristmasVisit Sarah's website 👉 https://www.sarahtempleton.org.ukSarah's books 👉 https://www.sarahtempleton.org.uk/book-author/Find Sarah on Linkedin 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-templeton-headstuff-adhd/Support ADHD Chatter:LinkedIn 👉 https://bit.ly/3m1qm8QInstagram 👉 https://bit.ly/3KuNXIrTikTok 👉 https://bit.ly/3ZxZNGdThis episode has been produced for entertainment purposes only and is in no way meant to be taken as medical advice or advice in any way.
