Making life work for you after an ADHD diagnosis

Episode Description:

“Don’t try to fit into the world; make the world fit into you.”

This week’s guest is Sarah Templeton, author of the hit book released in 2021. She realised the key to stopping ADHD adolescents from becoming homeless, unemployed, on drugs and in prison was to educate the parents. If parents could recognise their kids getting into these sorts of issues very early on and change their child’s life path by pursuing an early diagnosis, medication and managing their ADHD properly from the start, the result would mean the prisons, homeless hostels and rehabs would NOT be packed to the rafters with ADHD.

Sarah is a vocal advocate for change and believes The ADHD Act is long overdue. She has contributed to the APPG on ADHD at the Houses of Parliament primarily around the amount of ADHD in the criminal justice system. She’s a big supporter of their work and has vowed to be the voice for the tens of thousands of young offenders and adult offenders with undiagnosed ADHD – who cannot get their voices heard within the prison system.
