    4. Advanced ADHD + Neurodivergent Myths.....Busted :)
    May 21 2025
    You’ve already heard the basics: ADHD isn’t just for boys. Autism isn’t all hand-flapping. Great. But what about the deeper stuff? In this solo episode, Jane takes a sledgehammer to the most persistent, harmful, and advanced myths that are still sabotaging ADHD and autistic women. From the dangerous praise of ‘high functioning’ to the weaponisation of executive function, performative neurodiversity, and the false promise that meds fix everything—this is the truth the awareness campaigns skip. If you’ve ever been told you’re ‘too capable to struggle’, ‘too smart to be ADHD’, or ‘too emotional to be taken seriously’, this episode is your armour. 💡 What We Cover: Why ‘high functioning’ is just ‘high masking’—and why it’s killing us slowly How executive function gets twisted into shame and perfectionism Why medication is support, not salvation The deeply gendered myth of what autism ‘looks like’ in kids Neuroaffirming ≠ letting your child do whatever they want Why your nervous system needs more than a planner and good intentions The hidden cost of chasing ‘normal’ as a goal How parenting myths keep mums stuck in shame, guilt, and silence 🔗 Resources & Links: 📚 Research cited: Hull et al. (2020) on camouflaging in ADHD & autism Brown’s Executive Function Model (ADD Warehouse) Lye & Baron-Cohen (2015) on misdiagnosis in girls Dvorsky (2016) on long-term neurodivergent outcomes Dr Mona Delahooke on co-regulation & scaffolding 🎧 Related episodes: Ep 20 – The Worst Assessment Process Ever SCHOOL SERIES - When School Becomes the Trauma — What No One Tells ADHD Parents The Worst Assessment Process Ever: A Cautionary Tale Listen in SpotifyListen in Apple LISTEN NOW: If you’ve ever been told you’re ‘fine’ because you’re functioning — or you’ve questioned your diagnosis because you still can’t get organised — this episode is the recalibration you didn’t know you needed. Send it to a friend. A partner. A GP. Anyone who still doesn’t get it. #ADHDMumsPodcast #HighMasking #NeurodivergentMyths #ADHDAndMedication #ExecutiveDysfunction #Camouflaging #AutismInGirls #NeurodivergentBurnout #ADHDFatigue #MentalLoadMatters #NeuroaffirmingParenting #JaneMcFaddenPodcast JOIN THE COMMUNITY: Have questions or want to connect with other ADHD mums?

    3. SCHOOL SERIES - Burnout Starts in the Classroom — And Follows Them Home
    May 19 2025
    If your child’s after-school meltdowns seem to come out of nowhere — they don’t. They’re just not being seen. In this third episode of the School Series, Jane is joined again by neurodivergent educator and mum Millie Carr to unpack how burnout builds silently in classrooms and explodes at home. From sensory overwhelm and executive dysfunction to chronic invalidation and misread behaviour — this episode doesn’t just name the problem. It helps you understand what to look for, what schools can do differently, and what you can shift at home without burning yourself out too. This is a must-listen for any parent hearing ‘they’re fine at school’ while watching their kid unravel every night. 💡 What We Cover: The difference between academic fatigue and neurodivergent burnoutWhat school-based nervous system overload actually looks likeHow masking, people-pleasing and perfectionism disguise distressWhy executive dysfunction + sensory chaos = a ticking time bombThe impact of chronic invalidation on self-esteem and identityInteroception struggles — why neurodivergent kids often don’t see their own crash comingSimple school accommodations that reduce burnout without being performativeHow parents can build structure and regulation into home life without adding pressure 🎧 Related episodes with Millie Carr: SCHOOL SERIES - When School Becomes the Trauma — What No One Tells ADHD Parents Listen in SpotifyListen in Apple How to Tell Your Child About Their Diagnosis: Essential Do's and Don'ts.

    2. SCHOOL SERIES - Burnout Starts in the Classroom — And Follows Them Home
    May 14 2025

    If your child holds it together all day at school only to fall apart the second they get home—this episode is for you.

    In this brutally honest conversation, Jane is joined by teacher, parent, and neurodivergent advocate Millie Carr to unpack the invisible trauma happening behind ‘good behaviour’ in classrooms.

    From silent shutdowns to explosive rage, masking to misdiagnosis, we explore how the school system is inadvertently breaking the very kids it's meant to support—and what parents can do about it.

    💡 What We Cover:

    • What school-based trauma really looks like (it’s not always loud)

    • Why girls and fawn-type students are flying under the radar

    • The link between masking, people-pleasing, and identity loss

    • How chronic invalidation chips away at kids’ mental health

    • Why ‘good girl’ praise can be just as damaging as discipline

    • The high cost of being the “perfect” student

    • RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) and the hidden social toll of school

    • What schools and parents can do to build trust and repair harm
