As featured on Jeremy Vine

Just got off the 'phone from being on Jeremy Vine. I was not a random caller but someone who e-mailed and got picked!
I was going to be on BBC News 24 about my ADHD but this got shelved. So when I heard that this was going to be a subject on Vine I contacted them with a short synopsis and they invited me onto the programme.
It was pretty nerve-wracking but once I got started it seemed very very brief and I really wanted to say more and give some support to the kids and adults out there who suffer not only from the symptoms but from ignorance and misunderstanding from society: I wanted to leave with an important final word but time just runs out on these things, I really should have tried to say to people not to concentrate on the things kids cant do but the things they CAN do. And that applies to everyone, not just people with a neurological disorder.

To see what I managed to squeeze in, click on Listen Again for Tuesday 28th August on the above link, it should be available from Wednesday 29th. I'm on about an hour and 5 minutes in. Tell me what you think, I'll be interested to find out how I came across. I'd like to do more public speaking on this subject because it is so important to me personally and in the wider world.

Upcoming Shows

Just putting the finishing touches to my work that is going into a joint show at the Bhavan Indian Cultural Centre in London.
As soon as I have designed the flyers I shall display more information.

This as well as Susan's show means hopefully 2007 will finish on a positive note!
