Welcome to DISTRACTD . February!! How did that happen. Im still not organised and in a routine . Anyone else?
Thankyou so much for coming along tonight. If its your first night here, WELCOME. It's because of you and the regular attendees we are able to make this happen. If no one came to these events there would be no DISTRACTD. As I always say. Imagine if we could get all the family members, teachers, bosses and friends here to get an understanding of what ADHD is? How different our lives would become. Even though we have been doing this for over a year now I still find it hard to explain why I am the way I am and why I do the things I do. Having these experts help us to understand ourselves, Our loved ones and learn about the many aspects of ADHD is so valuable.
I am so pumped for tonights event. Please make sure you guys shoot me a text or email, say hi and if you want to catch up for a cuppa please let me know.
my number is 0409 997 285 (im a shocker at answering my phone if you just call so text first to tell me when you will call ha ha) and email is amanda@amandagormanartist.com
