Yeadon woman tells of life with ADHD to raise awareness

Lauren Nicholson, from Yeadon in West Yorkshire, has been diagnosed with ADHD and is awaiting a diagnosis of autism.

The 35-year-old hopes to encourage others to understand how autistic people see the world.

She says: "Everybody already knows about neurodivergency, the problem is they apply it only to children."

Lauren was questioned for wearing headphones in public and as a result she's sharing her story to help others.
