Neurodiversity Trainer; Co-Founder of Perfectly Autistic; Former TV & BBC Radio Presenter
Hester Grainger Biography
Hester Grainger is a leading ADHD advocate, keynote speaker and neurodiversity consultant, known for her honest, engaging and empowering talks on ADHD and neurodiversity. Diagnosed with ADHD at 43, she brings a unique mix of lived experience, professional insight, humor and storytelling to her work.
With a background in media, broadcasting and communications, Grainger began her career in TV, presenting on Channel 5’s "The Wright Stuff" before moving to behind the scenes on "Loose Women" and other ITV shows. She then spent over 20 years in PR, leading campaigns for brands including BMW, Mars and Sport Relief. She later returned to broadcasting with her own BBC radio show and is now a regular contributor on BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 and BBC 5 Live and often in the press too.
Grainger is the co-founder of the consultancy Perfectly Autistic, which she runs with her autistic and ADHD husband, Kelly. Together they deliver workplace training, coaching and mediation for organizations including Red Bull Racing, Sony Music, TUI, Marks & Spencer and the NHS.
In 2025, Grainger toured the UK visiting nearly 30 theaters with her one-woman show "ADHD Unmasked." She was invited to speak at the House of Commons about ADHD and neurodiversity and will be back in tour later in 2026.
She lives in a proudly neurodivergent household -- her husband and both teenagers are autistic and ADHD -- making her work deeply personal. Her warmth, humor and energy make her a powerful and relatable voice in the neurodiversity space.
