´óÏó´«Ã½

There was a welcome repeat this week of the Radio 4 documentary ADHD and Me.

Comedian Rory Bremner has found success in his ability to switch between impersonating many different people. But behind his comic persona is a man who finds difficulty focusing, loses the thread of conversation and takes on too many tasks leaving his personal and professional life in disarray. Following a diagnosis of ADHD within the family, Bremner has realised he too may have the condition.

During the programme, he finds out how ADHD affects adults, how attitudes have changed in the two decades since it was first recognised, and explores ways in which support can be given.
