Welcome to ADHDifference
Created by Julie and Jel Legg, both diagnosed with ADHD in their fifties, ADHDifference challenges the misconception that ADHD only affects young people. Drawing from full lives, careers, and relationships prior to their diagnoses, they share a unique perspective as older adults with ADHD.
Their mission is to foster understanding by sharing personal, relatable experiences in informal, unscripted, and honest conversations. Choosing "ADHDifference" over "disorder" reflects their belief that ADHD is a difference in brain wiring, not just a clinical label.
Episodes are available on YouTube and all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, iHeartRadio and Listen Notes, and more. Captions, subtitles, and transcripts ensure accessibility for all.
Julie, author of The Missing Piece: A Woman's Guide to Understanding, Diagnosing, and Living with ADHD (HarperCollins NZ, 2024), welcomes your suggestions for future topics. Contact Julie & Jel to share your ideas!
