My guest is Dr Melanie Smart, a fellow Clinical Psychologist based in Chichester, West Sussex. Melanie works with children up to 18 years, many of whom have an ADHD diagnosis. And it was through this work that she started wondering if she also had ADHD. The young people would bring their school reports in and she'd read them thinking, hang on, that could be mine. Melanie pursued a diagnosis and describes it as being a game changer.

She now specialises in working with ADHD high masking girls and is passionate about shifting the focus from the child who has to change and fit into a traditional educational model to changes in the environment, the context and how we support them.
