Im sure she has disclosed an eating disorder in her past?
That deffo looks like he was in the growing back phase of a transplantThis was a few months ago and his head was shaved….
Me neither.She’s pulled out again, I’m actually not surprised.
Well it must do if she keeps doing it but I don’t know how she still has followers! More baggy clothes buying today, the only decent thing she does is travel but it’s too few and far between nowadaysCos it pays well?
I have worked with many neurodivergent individuals as well as having a husband who has ADHD. I have no idea if this is a condition Katie thinks she may have or a condition she has sought an assessment for & one for which she has met the criteria? What I would say is, I think it would be hard to tell from short snippets of her life one way or the other.
Struggles with aspects of executive functioning are within the make-up of many (most) of us to a greater or lesser extent as our strengths & weaknesses sit on a continuum or within a spectrum. If this is an official diagnosis sought using NICE guidelines I have every sympathy for Katie but if she is self-diagnosing I would urge her to stop since she could be presenting with other conditions seperate from or co-morbid with a diagnosis of ADHD. If she believes this is a possibility then it would be advanteous for her to request a referral from her GP to a properly qualified individual or group of individuals for an assessment to ascertain if she fulfills the diagnostic criteria. Referral, of course, doesn't mean acceptance for assessment.
She just posted a quirky ADHD meme and said ‘that’s me’. The memes make it look like a cute personality trait rather than a debilitating lifelong condition.I have worked with many neurodivergent individuals as well as having a husband who has ADHD.

The jumping on a bandwagon or making a meme is my worry. It lessens this diagnosis for others who truly experience the challenges ADHD brings to their door. I suppose, I always feel Katie, is a sort of trend hopper so I hope this isn't the case. If it is & there's no ADHD or ADD I hope she feels some shame.She just posted an ADHD meme and said ‘this is me’. So who knows if it’s a proper diagnosis
It’s just odd as she’s never mentioned her diagnosis before. Memes make it look cute and quirky when it’s a very difficult and debilitating condition.

And she’s never mentioned it again. Waiting lists for NHS adult assessments are years and years in most areas so perhaps she’s had a private diagnosis.
It’s true that we can’t tell from her posts and don’t really know her at all. But it would be good if she addressed it as otherwise she looks like someone that’s jumped on a social media trend
