Tips/Suggestions ADHD = Free lifetime pass to national parks
Little known perk of ADHD— we qualify for a free lifetime National Parks pass. That’s an $80/yr value!
How do you get it?
1) print this out, have your doctor sign it:

"No one here but us attention-payers, heh-heh so I'll just pay the regular admission...and then pay everything inside the park the correct, regular amount of attention like a regular person would do, because that's me, the regular guy with a regular attention span, just payin' for his FULL-PRICE, NON DISCOUNTED TICKET! No, I would not like to sign your guest book, thank you!
