1. You can use the names of clinics & NHS trusts, but you MUST NOT name individual doctors.

2. You MUST NOT describe the details of any formal complaints you may have filed against private or NHS doctors/clinics/trusts.

3. You MUST NOT post a review for any service in which you have a beneficial interest also you MUST NOT place a review on behalf of someone with a beneficial interest.

These 3 rules exist for legal & ethical reasons. If any of these rules are broken, we will delete such posts without notice.

This is a members only board which is used for non-judgemental discussions about ADHD and all gender related matters such as roles, expression, dysphoria, transition and any other matter.

PLEASE NOTE: This board was created as a separate board by request for those who have safety & privacy concerns. There is NO restriction on discussing gender, in a non-judgemental manner, on any of the other boards.

Everyone has the right to their own gender identity and no one should be pressured to fit in with other people's ideas.

This board is for registered members to chill out and discuss anything and everything - on topic, semi-on-topic, and completely off topic.

Only registered forum members and staff can view this board & it's contents which also means that threads and posts can only be created by members and staff.

This board is for parents of ADHD people; you do not need to have ADHD yourself!

This is a Members Only board which provides space for people to record their own personal experiences, in diary format, with ADHD in all its aspects and for also venting.

This board is intended to be a safe place so here's a couple of rules:

1. Do not name any specific individuals. If you forget and name someone, then we'll either x it out or delete the post as appropriate.
2. Do not interrupt someone's venting.
3. Any replies must be 100% supportive
