Calling all LGBTQ+ doctors & dentists & medical/dental students 📣

The GLADD AGM will be a really nice evening - you don’t need to know anyone else coming, we’re very friendly I promise🥰

I had placement today & we discussed ADHD/autism & I ended up opening about having them myself

The doc I was observing was so kind & reassured me that I could get up, stretch, walk about (& stim) between appts if I needed
