Financial journalist and author Jessie Hewitson was amused when her five-year-old came home from school and declared he has DHD. She thought he'd somewhat ironically missed out the 'A' in a hurry. But after thinking about it for a while, she thought he may well have succcessfullly diagnosed himself. A few years on and both of Jessie's sons have been diagnosed with ADHD, and she has received a diagnosis too. Having previously written about autism and how to ensure an autistic child is happy she's back with a new book - How To Raise a Happy ADHD Child - and offers listeners her thoughtful advice. Presenter Emma Tracey is joined by BBC journalist Hayley Clarke to talk through the latest headlines including the twists and turns of the government's welfare reform bill. And if you're gearing up for a trip to Glastonbury, or any other festival for that matter, Hayley, who's going for a sixth time, has a list of top tips on how to survive a festival if you're neurodivergent.
