E51: Amanda Perry

In this episode, Ben sits down with Amanda Perry, ADHD business mentor and author, to discuss the UK government’s Access to Work scheme and the controversy sparked by a recent Daily Mail article. The piece claims that influencers labeled "sickfluencers" are driving a surge in applications, particularly from self-diagnosed ADHD’ers. Amanda, one of the individuals named in the article, joins Ben to share her side of the story.

In this chat with Ben, Amanda discusses the purpose of the scheme, who it truly benefits, why ADHD is often misunderstood, and how the media can influences people's views on it.
