An attentive mind? ADHD on Jeremy Vine

Just had the briefest of brief spells on Jeremy Vine discussing ADHD.
I e-mailed the show last week when they announced they were doing a programme about this because the story I was going to do on BBC News 24 got shelved and I thought it was important to tell people the disorder isn't just about kids but can have long-term and wide-ranging effects. Luckily they phoned me back and invited me on, so all last night and this morning I was trying to work out what I'd say. Typically, I needn't have bothered with all that internal rehearsing, as the programme makers and presenters have their own agenda, and in fact the time ran out before I could say what I consider to be the most important bits! Click on the above link and select the programme of Tuesday 28th August, which should be available on Wednesday 29th. I'm on about 1 hour 5 minutes into the show - in the 1 o'clock slot after the mum talking about her ADHD child. Let me know what you think - I'd love to do some more public speaking about this subject and give some exposure and support for people with this condition.
Its easy to dismiss these "disorders" but believe me I went through a lot of soul-searching before I went to be tested and I'm sure I'm not alone in that...
