Neurodiversity advocate Hester Grainger will bring her ADHD Unmasked show to Camberley Theatre on Thursday, 29th May, to Guildford’s G Live on Tuesday, 10th June, Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre on 13th June, Wycombe Swan on 15th June & more as part of a UK tour
These four little letters – ADHD – seem to be everywhere, with the best neurodivergence advocates offering life-changing support.
For years now, Hester Grainger has been speaking about neurodiversity, specifically ADHD. “My husband and I set up the Perfectly Autistic consultancy in 2020, so we’ve been offering talks, training, webinars etc for a long time now!
“My children were diagnosed as autistic when they were seven and nine and then, a few years later, with ADHD. It was during one of their appointments that the psychologist asked if I’d been diagnosed with ADHD. I explained I hadn’t and she suggested I was. So, I was officially diagnosed with ADHD when I was 43 – I am now 47. We had also launched Perfectly Autistic, so the two went hand in hand. I didn’t set out to be a public advocate, I just wanted to raise awareness and understanding and I love to share my knowledge with anyone who will listen.”
Hester is the go-to ADHD expert in the press and is a regular guest on podcasts. She even went viral after her appearance on ADHD Chatter with Alex Partridge, with clips being viewed more than 22 million times. She’ll bring her show ADHD Unmasked to Camberley Theatre on 29th May as part of a UK tour.
“It’s going to be a fantastic, uplifting and fun evening – I can’t wait!” adds Hester. “ADHD Unmasked is all about stripping away the myths and misconceptions and talking about what it is really like. It’s not just about the struggles, though we’ll talk about those, too – but also about the strengths people with ADHD have.
“There will be real-life stories and practical strategies that actually work. You can expect honesty, humour, oversharing (I just can’t help myself) and probably a few ‘aha!’ moments along the way. I want the show to be completely interactive so if people have questions in the first half, they can ask those too. If they are anything like me, I would feel like I was going to burst if I had to wait to ask my question! This is going to be a safe and inclusive space where people can be themselves.
“The show is for people who want to understand more about ADHD, maybe their partner, child or friend has it, or maybe a family member has recently been diagnosed and people want to know more about what it actually is and how it affects them. And it’s also just for anyone with an interest in ADHD who wants to learn more. The more, the merrier!
“You’ll leave feeling uplifted, empowered, understanding more about yourself and how your brain works and most importantly, knowing you aren’t alone on this journey.”
