ADHDifference challenges the common misconception that ADHD only affects young people. Diagnosed as an adult, Julie Legg interviews guests from around the world, sharing new ADHD perspectives, strategies and insights.
ADHDifference's mission is to foster a deeper understanding of ADHD by sharing personal, relatable experiences in informal and open conversations. Choosing "difference" over "disorder" reflects its belief that ADHD is a difference in brain wiring, not just a clinical label.
Julie is the author of The Missing Piece: A Woman's Guide to Understanding, Diagnosing, and Living with ADHD (HarperCollins NZ, 2024) and ADHD advocate.
Noemi Platania is a researcher and PhD candidate based in the Netherlands, studying ADHD in women and girls at the Expertise Center Adult ADHD in The Hague. Supervised by Prof. Dr. Sandra Kooij and Dr. Dora Wynchank, her work focuses on updating the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults (known as the DIVA-5) so it better captures the experiences of women and girls.
