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.

Executive Dysfunction and Early ADHD in Preschoolers
Why does time blindness show up so early in life?
Welcome to another episode in our Research Recap series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.
In this episode, Skye and Will unpack a study of preschoolers in Hong Kong, showing how time perception, working memory, and delay aversion already affect early academic skills.
What we cover:
- Why ADHD symptoms in preschoolers are hard to spot but still matter
- Why time perception was the newest and most revealing test
- What frustration tasks reveal about emotional regulation
- How working memory predicts later academic success
- How these findings could shape future ADHD support
