b'In this week\\u2019s episode we meet Mitty James a broadcaster and musician who was diagnosed with ADHD at 13 years old.20yr old Mitty blows away the myths of what it\\u2019s like to live with ADHD as a woman, from her diagnosis to coming out of the closet at the age of 14.We have the Book Collective where we continue with Anita Diamant\\u2019s The Red Tent, there\\u2019s a British Foodie from Lou that is almost impossible to turn vegan and we catch up with the WI, our walking challenges. There\\u2019s a look into the huge prescription waste and how the NHS loses 300 million pounds every year, why we should all know the Tail of Spence, plus all the usual shenanigans, the Collective\\u2019s comments and forgetting words!\\xa0We\\u2019ve talked previously on our podcast about how Autism presents differently in girls and women, in fact we have a whole episode dedicated to this subject. But what about ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? We know that more boys are diagnosed but is this because fewer girls have ADHD or is it more likely that their traits are being masked and being missed as with Autism? Mitty James is a broadcaster and\\xa0musician living in Devon, with ADHD. They stumbled through a very academic upbringing with professors and doctors for parents, and went to a high\\xa0achieving boarding school. All this with a brother dealing with\\xa0Asperger\\u2019s syndrome and ADHD, coming to terms with her sexuality and living through a traumatic event made for a difficult time.\\xa0Mitty came out the closet at 14 and was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety at 16, we learn what a day in the life of Mitty is like, how one task can take almost all day, the depression and anxiety surrounding ADHD and how being with someone that can support makes life so much easier.You can watch the full interview on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFgmHLcdx28eco-XlkWYwUA\\xa0And find Mitty on Instagram @mxttyzIn the Foodie we are looking at British food and as it was the Platinum Jubilee last weekend, Lou made the Jubilee trifle, but how did she get on?
