If you struggle with Time Blindness it is not your fault. This is symptomatic of the condition. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
...And neither am I... I'm joined by the wonderful Beth and Kate; two Volunteer Facilitators of ADHDAF+ Charity for a chinwag all about it!

We hope that you can come chat about Time Blindness at your nearest ADHDAF+ Support Group

'ADHD Masking can involve consciously or unconsciously adopting behaviours that align with neurotypical expectations, often to fit in, avoid judgment, or meet societal demands.' But how do we unmask? Well first, we need to identify how and where we mask, or rather 'wear different hats to suit the occasion' 

We hope that you can unmask at your nearest ADHDAF+ Support Group in JULY.

Thank you Kim, Tracy and Ruth for this crucial conversation!

Constantly overcommitting, overcompensating, over-explaining, and over-apologising? We certainly are... and we're absolutely OVER IT! How do intensely 'busy brained' ADHDers find 'balance' to avoid Burnout?...asking for a friend! ;) And I'm joined by one of my closest... come on an ADHDAF 'safari' to Blackpool Promenade for a chinwag with Mother of House of Wingz: Aishley Bell-Docherty, as we attempt to extinguish the fiery flames instead of fanning the ever glowing embers of Burnout!

...And you can join us in real life for The Blackpool Style Assembly, an immersive multi-catwalk event, boycotting fast fashion and championing neurodivergent and Blackpool creatives to raise funds for ADHDAF+ & Skool of Street Charities.
One ticket gets you entry to BOTH the fashion show (with an ADHDAF Emporium grand finale) and the ADHDAF Sunday Social at the Ferny, where raising ADHD awareness meets Bingo and Karaoke. Grab your ticket HERE

This is a VERY special episode featuring some of the incredible cyclists of The Big ADHD Fundraiser. From 1st - 3rd Aug '25, these legends are cycling almost 300 miles in just 3 days! This inspirational team of ADHDers share WHY they have taken on this challenge to raise funds for ADHDAF+ and ADHDadultUK charities.

These late discovered ADHD adults are stepping up to do their bit for the ADHD Community and helping push for change to try to save future generations tfrom suffering as we have. I SALUTE YOU ALL!

TRIGGER WARNING: contains mentions of very sensitive topics including; fatal accident, premature mortality, bereavement, addiction, drug use, depression, anxiety, suicide, self harm, trauma, anxiety, depression, mental health crisis, work struggles and unemployment.

Enormous thanks to all the cyclists: Darren, Claire, Beth, Katie, Micky, Jill, Steph, Tracy, Ronny, Richard & Emily! To all who have donated and helped raise awareness about this fundraiser. And to the ADHDAF Podcast Online Peer Support Community for inspiring and informing the work of ADHDAF+ Charity. 

Sending our condolences and deepest sympathies to Tracy, and to all who love Thomas Agathangelou. This episode is dedicated to Thomas and to all of our absent friends taken too soon due to a lack of support and understanding of ADHD. 

You can help Darren and the Team on their mission by donating or even just by sharing this episode or the fundraising page; and we would all be so grateful for your support!

Thanks so much, and hope to see you at July's London and Birmingham ADHDAF+ groups for ADHD Bingo!
