Emily Howarth Explores the Connection Between Being Queer and Neurodiverse

In recognition of Pride Month, we continue our discussion about ADHD and queerness. In today's episode, friend of the podcast Emily Howarth shares openly about surviving a suicide attempt and how it led to her finding out about her ADHD.

If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, there is help. Call or text the number 988 to connect directly to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you do not live in the United States, here is a list of resources for help and support in other countries around the world.

Learn more about the language guidelines to follow when talking about suicide, set by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.
