Attention Different | Adulting with ADHD
Attention Different is an ADHD podcast centered on radical acceptance and neurodiversity. We aim to de-stigmatize the condition and build community by exploring the intricacies of living life and "adulting" with ADHD in the modern world. As a group of storytellers, filmmakers, and ADHD coaching professionals, we are invested in promoting diverse voices in our community and creating resources for adult ADHDers.
