A series about the hilarity & horror of Adult ADHD... which sees ADHD-er and dreamer Lola Mildew try to do adulting in spite of her executive dysfunction, while her alter ego Prof Penny, PhDADhD, guides us through WTAF ADHD even is. Truly, the struggle is real.
Much like the ADHD brain, Life In ADHD breaks off into little pieces that fit inside itself - so you can consume it either in one clusterf*ck matryoshka half hour pilot with bonus scenes, or - for the dopamine-deficient - snack on 15 inattentive bitesize pieces.
Life In ADHD goes under the hood of the ADHD brain... through a series of mixed metaphors. As well as standalone observational sketches there are educational modules like the Science Bit, the ADHDictionary and 'ADD FML' - confessions from real life ADHD-ers.
Exploring the funny side of ADHD and relatable to neurotypical folk too, Life In ADHD is a mixed-media omnishambles designed to mimic the scattered feeling of an ADHD mind. It aims to be a bit educational about why we get tangled up like Lola (we don't have a fully operation pre-frontal cortex - more of a pre-frontal vortex!) - and how living with ADHD is the closest you can get to clowning without a Gaulier diploma. The aim is to entertain and to educate - to help people understand this under-diagnosed condition... for those living with it to feel less alone... and to help 'NTs' to understand why their friend is always late.
