Do I have ADHD ? - First Steps and my Assessment - Part 1

Video Description

In today's video I'm sharing a load of footage I've made on my journey to be diagnosed with ADHD. It's quite the departure from my normal content.. but I feel like it's an important part of me to share. There's a bit of swearing, and it's not as slick as my other videos. Hope you enjoy it! And if you want to buy me a coffee - I won't say no. https://www.ko-fi.com/kiphakes Drop a comment below!
