A really powerful listen 🎧 Our ART-CARMA study participant Christian shares his story of living with ADHD and receiving a diagnosis and beginning medication as an adult.

Huge thanks to Christian for sharing his experience, and to Phoebe Rocks for supporting his involvement.
💬 “Once I understood my ADHD, and once I received acceptance instead of ongoing confusion, I was able to grow into a person I never thought I could be.”
For #ADHDAwarenessMonth, Christian shares his powerful story.
