New episode out now on ADHD or Life – A Couple’s Perspective 🎙️ and this week we’re doing an Ask Us Anything, answering your questions for both Adam and Donna.
We kick off with Adam becoming “TikTok guy” this week. He’s been deep in ADHD TikTok and now he’s talking about algorithms and statistics like it’s his full-time job. We’ve also noticed we’ve got loads of American viewers/listeners (comment where you’re from) and apparently we’re big in Japan this week too.
Also, did you know you can send us a text if you find the button? It goes straight to Adam’s phone… and he absolutely loves it.
