Diagnosis of ADHD; families and emigration; artist Judy Chicago; flexible working.

Presented by Jenni Murray. Featuring the diagnosis of ADHD, families and emigration, artist and author Judy Chicago, and women in business: flexible working.

The feminist artist and author Judy Chicago - famous for her work 'The Dinner Party' - joins Jenni to talk about her career and the book she has co-authored with Frances Borzello; "Frida Kahlo: Face to Face". We look at the growing concerns about the prescription of Ritalin for children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). How is a diagnosis of ADHD made? When a grown up child emigrates it affects the whole family dynamic. It's hard on the parents and siblings who are left behind, but what's it like to start a family abroad? As part of the Women in Business series we'll be looking at flexible working - just how flexible can small businesses afford to be?
