For the finale of Season 3 I've swapped roles with Dr James Brown of the ADHD Adults Podcast and ADHDadultUK Charity - the 1st ever ADHDAF guest - to answer the questions I've been asking for 2.5 years to conclude the season which almost didn't get released & ADHD Awareness Month 2024. Whilst we explore the themes of Internalised misogyny , ableism and RSD , this lengthy, side-questy and VERY sweary (sorry Mum) chinwag is a celebration of launching stage one of ADHDAF+ Charity and ADHDAF Emporium and all that's been overcome to continue ADHDAF solo for a whole year. And it is an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to all who have supported this podcast, the socials , the online peer support community , the live events, the retreat and ADHDAF Day . I can't say thank you enough to you all! - As explained in the episode(!!!) this cover photo is by the incredible @summonfirehotography - Editing and jingle by @sessionzservices - The playlist for all season 3 guests 'ADHD Song', including my ADHDAF Anthem is available to listen to HERE - the amazing question came from community LEGEND Lauren! I must admit I was cringing at the amount of times I swear in this episode - likely because it turned into a relaxed conversation between two friends. HOWEVER, I realised that if I edited the swearing out, I would only be doing so to appease my own internalised misogyny! So I've kept the swears in for that reason, and because it is symbolic of all that I've put into ADHDAF since April '22 - every single 'eff' I have to give! :) THANKS SO MUCH to James for interviewing me and for all of his support from day dot - a man who has done DOUBLE the ammont of live shows I have at 70 in the same period!! Trigger warning: Alongside swearing we discuss some heavy topics such as: bullying, ableism, trolling, sexism, internalised misogyny, addiction, accidental injury, premature death, suicidal ideation, suicide, self harm, divorce, family and relationship struggles, bereavement, abusive relationships, self loathing, depression and anxiety. If you are in need of support YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! There is immediate help out there so please REACH OUT Search the ADHD Medication Directory if you are struggling to access medication during the national medication shortage HERE You can connect with literally likeminded legends and support the continuation of this podcast by joining the Patreon Peer Support Community Enormous thanks to the Members for keeping this podcast going for over 2 years!

It's time to have fun whilst raising ADHD awareness! I'm joined by my husband 'Big' to read @adhdafpodcast follower's 'Most ADHD Thing' entries of last month. Each Saturday I ask on socials 'What is the most ADHD thing you've done this week?' to encourage listeners to connect for Peer Support, to laugh at the things that would usually make us cry, to raise ADHD awareness, break the stigma and to eradicate the shame so many of carry after a lifetime of unidentified ADHD. Please note that ADHD presents differently in every individual and SELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID, and in a system so broken you could be waiting the best part of a decade for life changing - and in many cases - life saving diagnosis and treatment, it bloody well has to be! Lean into the community and drop that shame! It's ALMOST ADHDAF DAY! We invite you to join us online THIS FRIDAY: 25th Oct for the THIRD ANNUAL ADHDAF DAY!

This episode is dedicated to Jodi Walsham and to all ADHD adults tragically no longer with us. Jodi's Mother Jayne shares Jodi's story on World Mental Health Day in ADHD Awareness Month to raise awareness about the serious danger to the lives of what is underestimated at 196,000 vulnerable people currently on waiting lists for ADHD assessment in the UK. It is a common misconception that ADHD is a mental health condition. It is in fact a Neurodevelopmental condition. But in many cases the impact of battling through life with unidentified and unmanaged ADHD, and the trauma this can bring to life circumstances can lead to commonly co-occurring mental health conditions and severe mental health crisis; and as in Jodi's case - who was also awaiting assessment for Autism - the lack of support available resulted in tragedy. TRIGGER WARNING: There are very triggering topics covered from the very start of this episode, including: suicide, suicidal ideation, self harm, drug addiction, premature loss of life, bullying, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, self harm, divorce, traffic accidents. If you are struggling, please do not suffer in silence. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There is free and immediate support out there so please REACH OUT FOR HELP. Jayne is heavily involved with the suicide prevention charity Baton of Hope . I am so grateful to Jayne for all of her support and for allowing us to hear about and from her wonderful daughter Jodi. Love and Scars, written and performed by Jodi Walsham ADHDAF+ Charity is dedicated to Jodi Walsham, to all of our absent friends and to our 'absent minded' friends, the Leopard Print Army. Though in its infancy, ADHDAF+ Charity number: 1208650, aims to connect and empower ADHD adults of marginalised genders in England and Wales, with plans to extend into Scotland once we are properly up and running. The website and domain are currently connecting, but if its not there yet, you will be able to find out more at www.adhdafplus.org.uk and social media will be coming very soon: @adhdafplus The cover artwork for this episode was selected by Jayne as a fitting tribute to her daughter and to convey the message of this crucial conversation. It was taken on ADHDAF Day '23 by Gem Clack Photography In a system so broken that people in mental health crisis could be waiting the best part of a decade for life changing and in many cases life saving ADHD assesment, diagnosis and treatment; what we do have is each other.

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. PLEASE SHARE this episode and write a review/ hit those stars, because doing so means these episodes will spread far and wide. Each one contains important information that society NEEDS to know about ADHD and from the very people whose voices have gone unheard for too long! Let's join forces this ADHD Awareness month. LIVES DEPEND ON IT. Myself and the Leopard Print Army thank you for your support! Laura x Support the show…
