Hi, I’m Graham. I’m glad you found your way here.

I created Shifted Minds as a space for late-diagnosed ADHD’ers and autistic adults, especially those of us who’ve spent years excelling in demanding roles while wondering why everything felt just that bit harder, lonelier, or more exhausting.

For me, diagnosis came after decades of coping, masking, and burning out in high-pressure environments. Coming to understand what was really going on didn’t just bring relief, it brought a reckoning. And then, a rebuilding.

I am a Managing Director and Tech Fellow at BlackRock, the worlds largest Asset Manager and have 30 years experience in the Finance Industry, leading global teams in finance technology.

I am diagnosed ADHD and Autistic (AuDHD) and would likely meet the Dyslexia diagnostic criteria.

I qualified as an ADHD Coach with ADHD Works in 2025 and work with individuals and corporate clients as part of a passion to help Neurodivergents thrive in the workplace.

This site exists to make that process less isolating for others.

Here, you’ll find a blend of:

• Tools and ideas to support real-world neurodivergent life

• Reflections on masking, burnout, and rediscovery

• Research-based insights into ADHD and autism in adulthood

• Coaching-informed frameworks for self-understanding

• A thoughtful lens on identity, shame, and belonging

• Critical takes on mainstream narratives and workplace culture

If you’ve been called high-functioning but felt low-burning, or been praised for being a chameleon while slowly forgetting who you really are, this space is for you.

You don’t need to mask here.
