00:00 Trailer

02:48 When was your earliest memory of feeling different?

10:30 You were diagnosed at 47? Why did it take so long for you to receive a diagnosis?

14:28 What clicked into place when you heard the words "You have ADHD"?

26:44 You have a great analogy about Tarzan and ADHD, can you explain this for our audience?

33:05 Being diagnosed with ADHD and being a comedian - the creative comedy mind of which is constantly flipping from thought to thought (and I'm sure the two go hand in hand) - but how did this fluid nature of the way the brain works serve in holding down jobs & relationships?

47:52 Moving around a lot when you were younger, changing country, feeling "foreign", facing racism, having ADHD, being shy, that's a lot to deal with for someone who is likely to be emotionally sensitive? What do you think the most testing part of your life has been as far as RSD is concerned?

53:21 What did/do your parents think about ADHD and everything that it entails?

57:30 The ‘ADHD item’ segment

01:03:26 Washing machine of woes

01:09:01 A very personal question and one you don't have to answer of course, but what is the process of a relationship coming to an end and then the subsequent divorce like for the chaotic mind of someone with ADHD?

01:14:33 Do you think that everything you've been through - including your late diagnosis - has helped you build your career?

01:17:41 Where would you be in life without your sense of humour and what purpose does your sense of humour serve in softening the blow of everything we've spoken about already!

01:19:35 A wedding day story

01:23:14 Being very much an outsider through Neurodivergent means and, back when you came to the UK, feeling like an outsider through race too, do you have an explanation in a nutshell that might best describe how ostracised a person would feel, and did feel, in that scenario?

01:27:04 Most impulsive thing

01:31:37 Closing questions & signing the ‘thinks outside the box’ canvas
