The ADHD Skills Lab
Navigate each day in an ADHD-friendly way – with research-backed strategies, real-life experiences and expert advice. Each week, UO founder Skye Waterson chats with expert guests, reviews the latest ADHD research, takes your questions and offers practical support to help you move past whatever may be holding you back.
Skye Waterson is a former academic turned coach, podcast host, and founder of an international ADHD support service, Unconventional Organisation. After getting a surprise ADHD diagnosis in the first year of her PhD, Skye turned her struggles into research-based strategies. She researched and wrote over 50 articles with a combined readership of 250,000+ and then began her next phase of disseminating these strategies around the world.
After being invited to share her strategies with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) in 2022, Skye has supported late-diagnosed healthcare professionals, professors, lawyers, reporters, fortune 500 directors, and entrepreneurs. She crafted her vision for Unconventional Organisation after realizing how few personalized ADHD strategies were available for adults following her diagnosis.

ADHD and ASD: If you're confused, so are the experts
tl;dr Is it ADHD, ASD, or both?! As it turns out, the experts still aren't sure.
This week on The ADHD Skills Lab, I have a labor of love for you, in the form of a Research Recap! We looked at several articles and an editorial (hello, asynchronous interview) to discuss the question above.
Curious about what's inside?
- Research & expert opinions
- Implications for treatment
- Why is the overlap between ADHD & ASD so big?
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah (Podcast Producer)
