What happens when ADHD doesn’t look the way people expect it to, and what’s the cost when it gets missed? This week, Sam and Katie are joined by psychotherapist, activist and founder of ADHD Babes, Vivienne Isebor, to explore how ADHD shows up differently in Black women and non-binary people, and why that matters. Vivienne shares her own late diagnosis story, the cultural barriers that still exist around recognising ADHD, and how building a community for people like her became life-saving. Together, they unpack the damage caused by stereotypes, the inherited silence around neurodivergence, and the importance of joy, rest and connection in healing. Vivienne talks candidly about the emotional toll of being misread, the power of peer support, and why she’s hopeful about the future- even while pushing for systemic change. Whether you’re navigating your own diagnosis or just want to understand what ADHD looks like beyond the clichés, this conversation is packed with insight, care and collective wisdom.

Why Are So Many People with ADHD Ending Up in Prison? 24:39

What if we told you that a huge number of people in the UK’s prisons are neurodivergent- many undiagnosed, unsupported, and misunderstood? This week on You’re Wrong About ADHD, Katie and Sam are joined by Met Police Detective Daley Jones, who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and has become one of the UK’s leading voices on neurodiversity in policing. Together, they explore the powerful link between ADHD and the criminal justice system, and why it often starts with missed diagnoses at school. Daley reveals how impulsivity, emotional dysregulation and people-pleasing can put undiagnosed ADHDers at risk of getting into trouble, and how a lack of understanding can make things worse at every stage- from arrest to court and prison. He also shares what it’s like to be a police officer with ADHD, the bias baked into the system, and the small changes that could make a big difference. If you’ve ever wondered how society could better support neurodivergent people- or what real reform looks like- this episode is a must-listen.
