Welcome to the 172nd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. As you know, the theme for December is all about intersectionality in disability and today we're going to be talking about ADHD and the Muslim experience or one person's Muslim experience of being diagnosed with ADHD when they turned 30.
And to do this with me is the wonderful Rahimeh Ramezany.
