36. Neurodiversity & Gambling | Paul Nash

What role can neurodivergence play in someone’s relationship with gambling? Paul joins Hold or Fold to share the story of more than a decade of gambling, during which he lost around £100,000. Diagnosed with both ADHD and autism, Paul reflects on risk, reward, impulsivity, fitting in and the pressures that shaped his gambling, while making clear that neurodivergence itself does not cause gambling harm. He also talks openly about seeking recovery, recognising relapse and the importance of friends and family speaking up. A candid conversation about gambling, identity and understanding the bigger picture behind harmful behaviour.
