    116: Why So Many Mothers Get Diagnosed With ADHD After Their Child Does, with Kat Frize

    Kat Frize is the COO of Care ADHD, one of the UK's fastest-growing ADHD assessment and treatment providers. She has ADHD herself, is a mother to neurodivergent children, and spent nearly two decades leading large digital teams before making the move into healthcare. In this episode, Kat shares her personal journey to late diagnosis, what it was like to recognise her own ADHD through her daughter's challenges, and how understanding her brain transformed her parenting, her communication, and her career. We also explore a pattern that affects thousands of families in the UK: mothers receiving their own ADHD diagnosis after their child is diagnosed first. Why it happens so often, why it's so frequently missed, and why that diagnosis can be the beginning of something genuinely transformative. In this episode: Growing up as a high achiever who never looked "ADHD enough" Losing structure at university and what that revealed The communication challenges between an ADHD parent and an autistic child Why the ADHD assessment process can feel like a catch-22 How Care ADHD is reimagining the patient experience The spoon theory and how to talk to your kids about energy Why becoming a parent can be the turning point for late-diagnosed adults Links: Care ADHD: careadhd.co.uk Kat on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katpattison/ About ADHD Goals: The ADHD Goals Podcast is hosted by Laurence Pratt, a certified ADHD coach and the creator of the ADHD Canvas.
