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.
Julie is an ADHD author (The Missing Piece: A Woman's Guide to Understanding, Diagnosing, and Living with ADHD - HarperCollins NZ, 2024) and ADHD advocate.
Romy Graichen (Manchester, UK) from Therapy Advances is a dedicated advocate for ADHD and neurodivergent inclusion, drawing on her lived experience as a multiply neurodivergent individual—ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, and Dyspraxic—to inform her work as a therapist, trainer, and consultant.
Late diagnosed, she understands both the challenges and strengths of neurodivergence and focuses on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for individuals and professionals.
