He went on to found 'You, Me and ADHD,' which provides free talks in schools for students and teachers, helping people understand questions like: What does ADHD actually look like? Why can it look completely different from one person to another? How can ADHD affect school, work and everyday life? And what happens when people with ADHD don’t get the understanding or support they need? Ryan talks to Katie and Sam about his own experience, his campaigning work - and why the conversation around ADHD is becoming increasingly political.
