    03:29 ADHD item reveal

    03:53 So, a question that might have some layered answers, but, when was your first memory of feeling different?

    06:22 Did your ADHD diagnosis mean a lot to you?

    09:15 Is there a high proportion of neurodivergence in the gay community from your experience?

    10:05 And did I read somewhere that both of your sisters are gay? Are they both also neurodivergent too?

    10:18 What was your parent's response to firstly the collective Neurodivergence?

    11:58 How do you think you would have coped through your various iterations of learning that you're "different" without the support of your siblings?

    13:56 What is the importance to you of surrounding yourself with your “tribe"

    14:57 Have you ever been told you're "too much" for someone, either as a friend, or as a partner, or in the dating world?

    16:14 ADHD struggles

    17:34 How do you personally deal with heartbreak?

    18:45 And how would you describe real love from your own personal emotionally complex ADHD mind's experience?

    20:48 ADHD item explanation

    21:39 The ADHD agony aunt segment (The washing machine of woes)

    24:48 What led you to become part of the Reality TV show "I Kissed A Girl" and why did you choose to do it?

    26:57 I don't know how the edit the show, but I imagine things are changed and fabrciated a bit to fulfill a certain narrative. For someone with ADHD and maybe RSD, that's a huge risk to take.

    28:12 How has the social media response been and has it impacted you or your family either negatively or positively?

    32:09 How does RSD manifest in your and is it something you've had to struggle through your whole life?

    33:03 Having spoken to you now, I'd say you're the image of confidence. What insecurities might you have that you think you've done such a great job in masking that nobody would ever guess you think them about yourself?

    34:40 The feeling of not fitting in a box must be something quite familiar to you now! What advice would you give to someone who doesn't feel like they are fitting in when they are desperate to?

    35:36 What is it about you and your character that has been able to navigate through so many "against the grain" moments in your life and come out the other side so confident and happy?

    36:19 What is your life after the show going to be like in terms of the parts you can control (i.e what are you going to do with your new found stardom) and the parts you can't control (i.e being known for a Reality TV show)?

    37:45 What is it about being ADHD that you'd miss hugely if you were to suddenly become Neurotypical overnight?

    38:36 A letter from the previous guest
