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.
Caroline Beresford (NSW, Australia) is an accredited ADHD coach, facilitator and speaker, trained to help people with ADHD and executive function challenges and aim to realise their goals.
Through her lived experience, she identified a need for improved access to education and support for organisations, individuals and families navigating their unique, neurodiverse journey.
