In this episode of the FINDtheADHDGirls podcast, guest interviewer Katherine Ellison sits down with Kelly Pickens, a family nurse practitioner who didn’t discover her own ADHD until her late 40s.
Kelly shares how that diagnosis not only transformed her life, but also helped her understand and advocate for her neurodivergent children. She opens up about the emotional toll of being undiagnosed for decades, the healing power of coaching and medication, and the urgent need for better ADHD screening—especially for women and girls.
Kelly also introduces the NICE Index, her holistic, human-centered model for evaluating ADHD and autism, which goes far beyond the standard diagnostic checklist.
🎧 Whether you’re a parent, clinician, or someone who’s been wondering if ADHD could explain more than you realized, this conversation is for you.
