In this article, while it may look like I’m picking on the bulk whole-foods retailer,  I have nothing against them fundamentally (I actually shop there from time-to-time to acquire certain ‘specialty items’). I just believe that they should stick to what they know best, and stop littering New Zealand with their plastic marketing messages 😇

In this article I’ll be discussing Apero Culture — what it is, when it is, and where-it’s-at. I want us Kiwis to start bingeing on this European tradition, in the hopes of developing a better relationship with booze.

I feel like this would lead us to having better relationships with our people (significant others, friends, family, flatmates, neighbours), and ultimately to having a better relationship with ourselves.

To be clear, I have (late diagnosed) ADHD. I don’t have Adult ADHD. There’s no such thing. You can’t suddenly develop this mental health condition as a grown-up. I’ve always been like this. I just didn’t know ‘all my things’ were actually ‘a thing’ 😕

I’ve decided to share my story in order to increase awareness, and to generate accurate information.

This will be a three-part article on how I came to be diagnosed — during my 49th year on the planet.
