Episode 71 - The Future of ADHD

Welcome to ADHDville - an Adult ADHD Podcast—a place where two old friends (who’ve known each other for way too long) talk about the beautiful glittery chaos of ADHD. We’re here for the laughs, the stories, and yes, sometimes even advice… but don’t take us too seriously.

Think of us as an ADHD park bench: plenty of space, no judgment, and maybe a squirrel or two. We chat about the wild ride that is adult ADHD, bring in the occasional guest for fresh perspectives, and somehow always end up on a completely unrelated tangent.

We’re not professionals (unless you count professional over-sharers), we're all about real talk, big laughs, and a lot of “same!” moments. Grab a seat and join Paul and Martin (the co-mayors of ADHDville) on this hilariously messy journey!
