Enter Sean Gillen from EULAS Clinics in Scotland who is here to educate us all about it. He talks...

She was bouncing around in her pyjamas singing and I was immediately drawn to her e...

In this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Heidi Mavir for a conversation that was originally meant to focus on the brilliant work she does through EOTAS Matters and The Marble Run.

As we all know, the reason I named the podcast AuDHD Or Just A Bit Weird is because that's what I've always been called throughout my life and always in a derogatory manner...
