This mini episode is the 2nd installment of a mid-series-mini-series created for ADHD Awareness Month 2024. This October's theme is 'Awareness is Key', so I'm sharing the 'key' pieces of ADHD awareness the ADHDAF Community need the world to know.

The Leopard is the symbol of Aberdeen, Scotland - where ADHDAF began, it also symbolises bravery, the reclaiming of power, plus I'm a total hun! :) So leopard print has become our uniform of unity. We are the Leopard Print Army HEAR US ROAR!

Trigger warning: Contains swearing and mentions of sensitive subject matter some may find triggering; mental health struggles, alcoholism, addiction, drug abuse, relationship struggles, ableism, cancer, long term health conditions, suicide and premature death.

If you are in need of support YOU ARE NOT ALONE! There is immediate help out there so please REACH OUT

Simply wear at least one leopard print item on 25/10/24 to stand in solidarity with the leopard print army and post a selfie or video on your socials sharing the special message you want the world to know about ADHD, then tag @adhdafpodcast and #ADHDAFDay and I will reshare your messages for the world to see and hear us at a time of ADHD diagnosis crisis and medication shortages.

This very special episode was recorded just two days before a team of twelve ADHD LEGENDS including my guest: Rosie Turner cycled from London to Amsterdam, raising over £14K for ADHD Liberty & ADHDadultUK charities. Arriving in Amsterdam on my wonderful friend and very special guest's birthday! CONGRATULATIONS to you all and a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Rosie!

Rosie is the host of ADHD Untangled Podcast, an accredited ADHD Coach, and an ADHD Yoga & Pilates trainer. Rosie is a late discovered ADHDer, who has recently discovered Autistic traits she is currently awaiting Autism assesment. In this interview (interspersed with chaotic chinwag interludes) she shares her experience on the late AuDHD discovery rollercoaster... strap yourselves in! This episode also contains some incredible advice and big announcements... enjoy the ride!
