Late Diagnosis, New Clarity: One Woman’s ADHD Journey

Speaker: Lucy Drury

Description

Getting an ADHD diagnosis later in life can be life-changing—and for many women, it comes after years of confusion, misdiagnosis, and self-doubt.

Late Diagnosis, New Clarity: One Woman’s ADHD Journey is a deeply personal and reflective talk. In this session, Lucy shares her journey from years of being told she had anxiety to finally discovering the truth: combined-type ADHD. With that diagnosis came understanding, self-compassion, and the ability to see her strengths more clearly than ever before.

Through honest storytelling and lived experience, Lucy explores what it’s like to grow up undiagnosed, navigate the workplace without the right support, and eventually become her own advocate—and her own cheerleader.

This session offers insight into the unique challenges faced by late-diagnosed women, the relief that comes with finally making sense of things, and the power of connection with others on similar paths.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what helped Lucy most—from friends, family, and the workplace—as she moved from self-doubt to self-acceptance.I
