What It’s Like To Be Diagnosed ADHD And Autistic Later In Life: A Candid Conversation With Grace Cockatoo

This week on Bread and Better we welcome Grace Cockatoo! Grace is the founder of ‘The Neurospicy Club’ an online community bringing awareness to ADHD and autism through lived experience, she is the mum of two beautiful girls, and the wife of Nakia Cockatoo. In this episode, Grace shares her personal experiences, with the challenges of recognising her neurodivergence to navigating the complexities of obtaining a diagnosis. Through candid conversation, Grace sheds light on the impact ADHD and Autism have had on her life, touching on topics such as social anxiety, sensory processing issues, and the struggle for identity in adolescence. With empathy and insight, Grace offers advice to parents who suspect their daughters may be neurodivergent and guides supporting loved ones with ADHD or Autism.Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to discuss not only the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.Follow us on Instagram @breadandbetterpodcastShow NotesThe Neurospicy Club - https://www.instagram.com/theneurospicy_club/CreditsHosts: Tegan Padget and Alex WhittingtonProducer: Hey Al!
