E5 - The One With The Cricket Scores - Dr Khurram Saadiq, Psychiatrist and Author

This week we're extremely fortunate to be joined by the eminent psychiatrist, author, AuDHD campaigner and TEDx speaker Dr Khurram Saadiq. This episode is a highly personal one for me, since not only is Dr Saadiq highly respected in his field, he is also the psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD. 

In this episode, we cover topics including:

• His own journey with AuDHD, including his special interests growing up.
• How gaming and social media fit into the world of neurodivergence.
• How Autism and ADHD exist together and as separate conditions.
• The notion of neurodiversity being a "superhuman" condition.
• His perspectives on the current system, and what he believes could be improved.

Links promised during the episode: 

• His TEDx talk The Superhumans That Exist Amongst Us: https://www.ted.com/talks/khurram_sadiq_the_superhumans_that_exist_amongst_us 
• His forthcoming book Explaining AuDHD: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Explaining-AuDHD-Guide-Autism-ADHD/dp/1804369489
