Bex Whitley had been at her London PR job for a year, when, one afternoon, her manager pulled her to one side and asked to have a chat. He gently told her that, after managing her for a while, he wondered if she had considered that she might have ADHD.
“He said that people at work had been questioning my communication style, and he’d also seen that I was struggling to explain myself in a way that was easy to understand,” Bex, who lives in central London, says when we chat over the phone. “He had family who had ADHD, so he knew the symptoms.”
