We've then got Doctor Krum Sadiq. He has ADHD and autism and his talk on order and anarchy working together ADHD and ASD in symbiosis. We've then got another celebrity interview, this one with Tanya Barzley talking about her ADHD. Now it's hot on the heels of her ITV show Me and My ADHD and it's really hot on the heels. It was broadcast for the first time earlier just a few hours before we broadcast our interview. At this sporting conference, it's 11PM UK time. And so we jumped to our partners, New Zealand, with their sessions on ADHD in sport, mostly about their basketball programme, success through school, then the New Zealand perspective on ADHD, and then a segment on the importance of coaching. At that point, it's four a. M. UK time.

But obviously, you can catch up anytime. But more star speakers. This time, Roman Matler and Doctor Bonnie Zeng of Google, talking about what Google does for employees with ADHD. They are global leaders in this. And they focus on building a community in which everyone can belong. That's we then wrap up. It's the last session of ADHD New Zealand. It's life stories of people with ADHD. And then we jump to our other partner. So we jump from New Zealand to South Africa, and our ADHD charity partner there Goldilocks and the Bear. They give us an overview of ADHD in South Africa. It's an important topic. It's very different having ADHD in South Africa versus in Europe, in The UK, in New Zealand, in America and Canada.

It's an important topic. They gave us a book reading of their children's book, All of These Things Are Important to Me by author Professor Renata Schrum. I love the title. All these things are important to me. It's just a delight. Also announcing the first time that the book for the first time ever is available outside South Africa.

Also the clinical director of ADHD three sixty comes back as well, talking particularly around ADHD and women and ADHD and medication for women. It's an important topic. There's a panel discussion, ADHD and the criminal justice system.

Talking both about ADHD in prisons, but ADHD in the justice system, ADHD before when you're being interviewed, as well as stopping people getting to there at all. So it's an important wide ranging discussion. We then have a UK pound discussion on the benefits of coaching from a number of the coaches who also volunteer their time giving free online groups through ADHD UK and are in the coach marketplace. It's a really interesting discussion. And then we have a special session on ADHD and Nutrition by Doctor. Jagdish Basra. We have a session then from Hans Van Der Veldt, himself involved with ADHD Europe and ADHD in The Netherlands, talking about coaching ADHD employees.

For excellence in work. And our last session is the very serious topic of ADHD and suicide risk. And it's Doctor Sinead Claire from the University of Glasgow talking about research that ADHD UK we are funding. And it's to learn more about this important area, and our aim is to learn about how to prevent suicides through detailed learning about it. It's incredibly important work. It's then closing. It's the closing chat from me. You can see a very tired me trying and absolutely failing to thank everyone I should. Look, it's a fantastic conference and is made possible by a huge number of extraordinary people giving their time. No one's paid to present. Everyone does it out of love and wanting to make a difference for people with ADHD.
