Individuals with ADHD often feel as though they don't quite "fit in" in work school and other social settings. Additionally many of those with ADHD may experience shame and low-self esteem related to their neurodivergent traits. Join this panel of ADHDers and mental health professionals to discuss how tabletop role-playing games helped them make friends celebrate themselves and fine-tune their strengths. You've seen some of these characters before at PAX West East and Unplugged but not this full cast!

Panelists:
Cate Osborn (she/they) [Author and Podcaster, Catieoaurus Industries]
Dani Donovan (she/her) [Founder and CEO, anti-Boring Project]
Dr. Elizabeth Kilmer (she/they) [Clinical Psychologist, Take This]
Chrissy Crits [Licensed Social Worker, Firsthand]
Ryomasa [Therapist, In-Tune Integrated Therapies]
