EP 157:GCSE Choices, Neurodiversity, and the Bigger Picture

This week is a short solo half-term check-in.

It is GCSE options time in our house, and I know many of you are feeling the same fear.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The 30% executive function delay in ADHD and what that really means
• Why GCSE choices can feel overwhelming for neurodivergent teens
• How to choose subjects based on interest, not pressure
• The bigger life picture beyond exams
• Successful neurodivergent entrepreneurs including Jo Malone, Richard Branson and Ingvar Kamprad

GCSEs matter — but they are not destiny.

If you are sitting at the kitchen table staring at options forms, this episode is for you.

A calm reset for half term. 💛
