In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Kati Peditto, Founding Researcher at the Built Experience Lab and a leading voice in neuroaffirming design - an approach that centres lived experience and views neurodivergence as an identity to be supported, not a problem to be solved.
As an Autistic woman with ADHD, Kati brings both lived experience and research insight to a conversation many late-diagnosed women will recognise, the quiet, everyday ways our environments can either support our nervous systems or leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and “too much”.
Together, they explore the hidden impacts of our built environments and the origins of common design practices, as well as the design assumptions made and their contribution to stress, burnout, and self-doubt for neurodivergent women.
This episode offers validation, language and practical ways to think differently about your environment and your needs.
My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available. Grab your copy here!

Kati is currently writing a book that explores how the hidden curriculum of our built environments impacts neurodivergent individuals and how spaces can be designed to foster true flourishing. Find out more information via her website www.katipeditto.com
