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.
