## Resource

Episode 197 with Danielle Elliot. “I would love to see the conversation move towards less questioning of women when they talk about having ADHD.” Danielle is a health and science journalist, documentarian, and creator and host of Climbing the Walls , a new 6-part podcast series produced by Understood.org that releases April 9 (in 2 days!). Danielle was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 36 amid a surge of ADHD diagnoses in women since the pandemic. In her podcast series, she travels the country speaking with mental health professionals and women with ADHD to get answers to her big questions, like “Why women?” “Why now?” — and are we as a society equipped to support these many recently diagnosed women? In today’s interview, Danielle shares her own diagnosis story as well as what she discovered throughout this investigative journey. She shares what surprised her most, and where she feels the conversation around neurodivergence — especially among women — needs to be headed.
