Thought this might interest some of you - there will be an episode of Science or Fiction Live streaming on 28th Oct at 6:30pm, and it's all about self-diagnosing ADHD as a young person. It's basically a live podcast recording. You can even attend in person if you happen to be London-based.

As y'all might know, a lot of people are pushed into self-diagnosis for ADHD due to long waiting lists at the NHS, but the information you find online can also be a bit of a wild west so being informed is always good.
The discussion will be between various professors, doctors, youth advisors, and podcasters.

Might be tuning in myself!

All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

Nice @Amy22! If you do end up going, let us know if there were any interesting nuggets
I think one of the real problems we have is getting help via NHS with anything mental health related due to the waiting lists and the long diagnosis sometimes involved. Regardless, I think the talk could give some really good insight towards learning about ADHD
