In this episode of Intentional Oversharing, Neely Kimey welcomes Lucy Bentley—podcaster, former justice system professional, and neurodivergent Brit—for a deeply honest and hilariously chaotic conversation about late diagnosis, executive dysfunction, shame, and the wild road to self-acceptance. Together, they unpack their overlapping AuDHD experiences, explore the flaws in diagnostic frameworks, and share moments of vulnerability, confusion, and clarity around what it means to "function" in a neurotypical world.
Lucy shares her journey through school and navigating the workplace, revealing the patchwork path so many AuDHDers travel in pursuit of novelty and autonomy. The two discuss the shame cycles of undiagnosed neurodivergence, the relief and grief of diagnosis, and the maddening hoops people have to jump through—particularly in the UK—to get support.
Whether you're diagnosed, suspect you're neurodivergent, or just chronically misunderstood, this episode reminds you: you're not alone, and you're not broken.
