In January 2022  at the age of 38 I got diagnosed with severe combined type ADHD. In this two part episode I'm attempting to use my own late diagnosis 'safari' as a case study by 'interviewing' different people in my life to hear their reflections of the difference a year can make. Whilst some share childhood memories, others are behind the scenes ADHDAF team members... all are chosen family that have helped me in my darkest hours. From playground politics, to raving , to grieving, to activism. It has been a challenge putting all of this out there (and I don't just mean the editing! LOL) My hope is that some might find validation and comfort in hearing these blethers. I can't wait to share the second (MUCH SHORTER) instalment TOMORROW! If you'd like to hear the ENORMOUS difference a year can truly make listen to my 1 year since diagnosis episode HERESELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID & ADHD IS REAL.TW: Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Struggles, Conflict,  Ablesim, Bereavement, Grief, Cancer, Suicidal Ideation, Survivors Guilt, The Pandemic, Lockdown, Mental Health Struggles, Nervous Breakdown, BurnoutIf you are struggling, you are not alone. please REACH OUTENORMOUS THANKS TO: Steph of All The Discos, Sohayla, Aishley & Cat!

The ultimate Shame Eradicator, 'The Most ADHD Thing' serves to raise ADHD Awareness with humour, allowing us to laugh at the ridiculous situations ADHD can result in and unites the ADHD Community.

LOL... because what sort of a tit goes from trying to learn how to edit one week, to doing their 1st solo interview the following, to then deciding to interview 14 people in 1 day and then edit them together and release it as an episode by the very next day?!!! Like all things ADHDAF, myself included, this episode is TOO MUCH! :) But I hope you'll persevere, even if you have to listen to it in bits because ATTEMPTING to 'edit' this chaos has had me in ALL of the feels!
