Ep 20. the Firefighter and the DJ

This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening.

This podcast is all about our experience with late ADHD diagnosis and the questions we have as we continue to navigate life. This podcast is in no way medical advice or intended to be used as a diagnostic tool. That applies for any guests we have on too!

We love hearing about our listeners' experiences with ADHD, and we'd love to hear yours if you want to join us on the mics - drop us a DM (socials are at F them fish_ADHD for grownups) or an email ([email protected]).

It's Episode 20!! What better subject to revisit than music?! We speak with special guest Smitchie (aka Ritchie). Smitchie is a volunteer firefighter and a long-term DJ. He shares his diagnosis journey and how PTSD led to his subsequent ADHD diagnosis, with an important message about mental health for anyone who is currently pushing through tough times. We laughed so much during this episode, the witch cackle is out in force!

• Being a volunteer firefighter with ADHD
