The ADHD Manual Podcast

Hello my beloveds. I'm here to let you know that The ADHD Manual Podcast is going on hiatus. I have simply too many ideas that I want to develop, so the pod is taking a break while I work on breathing new life into TAM. I will be back with public updates on November 16th at the latest! Support the showExtended video episodes available on Patreon Follow TAM on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter theadhdmanual.com | theadhdmanual@gmail.com
