The taboo of ADHD And Autism within different communities
March 25, 2025

 if you go to your GP first suspecting your child has ADHD or Autism, collect evidence not diagnoses.

We had the opportunity to join Bal and Taj on their podcast 'Changing Suits', to talk about something close to our hearts: autism, ADHD, and the need for better awareness around special educational needs in our communities.


These topics are still seen as taboo in many spaces, which often leads to late diagnoses, misunderstandings, and limited engagement with support services. During the episode, we explored the signs to look out for, what the diagnostic process can involve, and how families and individuals can be supported.


It was a chance to have an open, honest conversation—and to help break down some of the stigma that still surrounds neurodiversity.


Podcast Sneak peak:


"What I would say to parents is don’t draw a line in the sand to say my child has autism or ADHD, or doesn't. It’s so complex, even professionals get it wrong, it can sometimes take months to be absolutely sure."


What I would say is, if you go to your GP first, collect evidence not diagnoses, speak to your children's schools and teachers."
