ADHD Petition
We have had some great wins for the neurodivergent community in Australia with Ritalin Long Acting being placed on the PBS for those who have received a diagnosis of ADHD over the age of 18!
Thankyou to ADHD Australia who supported the change.org petition and to everyone who signed and share it! We got to 10,000 signatures and won’t stop until we get the other options onto the PBS so that people with an adult diagnosis of ADHD get equitable and affordable access to treatment.

Monique shares some of the masking and compensatory strategies that neurodivergent individuals often use to navigate a neurotypical world.
The conversation explores the challenges in receiving a diagnosis and accessing appropriate support.
