Diagnosed & Dumped — with Beth Thomas (ADHD/ND Life Coach, Neurodivergent by Design)
This week, Jay sits down with Beth Thomas — ADHD & neurodivergent life coach, neuroinclusion trainer, and founder of Neurodivergent by Design — to talk honestly about being “diagnosed & dumped,” why so many adults still feel stuck after assessment, and what good support actually looks like at work and at home.
Beth shares her late-diagnosis journey, the pressure of growing up “gifted,” and how reframing perfectionism, people-pleasing, and RSD can unlock real change. We dig into Access to Work (what’s great, what’s broken), common mistakes companies make, and simple, low-cost adjustments that create safer, more productive teams. Beth also walks through her 1:1 coaching ethos (no coaching someone to cope in an unfit environment) and her self-paced course, Neurodivergent by Design: From Exhausted to Empowered.
“Diagnosed & dumped” why assessments often end with no real aftercare
Access to Work: backlogs, decisions, and what to do next
Workplace myths: “standardised fixes” and “it’ll be expensive”
Practical wins: boundaries, energy management, assertive comms
Beth’s theme tune: “Leave a Light On” (Tom Walker, acoustic)
