Keyworth, who was born in Aberystwyth, said ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) was not spoken about much in the area while growing up there in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
“And definitely not a lot of people were speaking about it in terms of women, because it looks very different,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I remember teachers saying ‘you’re not trying enough’, and I was crying because I was trying my very best – but I just couldn’t do ‘this thing’. I’m writing, and I’m not very good behind a desk.”<\/p>\n
She added: “Almost every school report I have says that ‘Gwyneth dreams and doesn’t concentrate, is talkative and has a lot of ideas but can’t finish reading’.”<\/p>\n
Keyworth said she eventually received helped from teachers at school who gave her more time to complete work.<\/p>\n
“Now you look back on it, it’s so obvious,” he said about her ADHD diagnosis, which she received “about two years ago”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keyworth, who was born in Aberystwyth, said ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) was not spoken about much in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-674923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
