Mariella Frostrup is used to juggling different projects, and her career shows no sign of slowing down as she heads into her mid 60s. While the broadcaster knew she had always been an “active” person, it was only when her son was being assessed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that she started to consider whether she might have it too.
“I’m one of those most vilified of groups, which is the middle-aged woman suddenly discovering she’s got ADHD,” she tells woman&home in an interview from her home in Somerset. The 62-year-old says it was when her then-teenage son Dan brought home the list of symptoms from school that she “looked at them and ticked every box”.
