Ellie Middleton on Autism & ADHD: "If you try and fight it, you're never going to win"

After dropping out of school, being misdiagnosed with Generalised
Anxiety Disorder, and constantly feeling misunderstood, Ellie
Middleton was finally diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.


Since then, Ellie has built a thriving online community of over
300,000 people, founded the groundbreaking Unmasked community for
neurodivergents, and worked with global brands like The
Independent, Google, and LinkedIn to change the narrative on
neurodiversity.


In this chat with Ben, Ellie talks about the lost generation of
Autistic ADHDers and why so many neurodivergent women are
slipping through the net. She also delves into the dangers and
benefits of self-diagnosis.
