When you look at traffic on the motorways, you’ll notice that not all number plates look the same. Beyond their numbering and personalisation, plates also differ in their design and format. Vintage cars get classic black and silver plates that call back to previous motoring eras. Dealers and automakers use specialised red-on-white trade plates for unregistered vehicles; these are usually for road testing or delivery. Green plates are the latest variation announced by Transport Minister Rachel Maclean in late 2020, and they are part of the “Road to Zero” scheme.

The lives of girls and women with ADHD are jeopardized by exponentially higher rates of self-harm, suicidality, and intimate partner violence, as compared with their neurotypical counterparts or with neurodivergent boys and men.“ADHD in girls portends continuing problems through early adulthood that are of substantial magnitude across multiple domains of symptomatology and functional impairment,” write the authors of the Berkeley Girls ADHD Longitudinal Study (BGALS) follow-up study.1 “The sheer range of negative outcomes is noteworthy; the most striking include the high occurrences of suicide attempts and self-injury in the ADHD sample, confined to the childhood-diagnosed combined type.”“Girls with combined-type ADHD are 2.5 times more likely to engage in non-suicidal self-injuring behavior than are their neurotypical peers, and 3 to 4 times more likely to attempt suicide,” said Stephen Hinshaw, Ph.D., lead author of the BGALS study, in an ADDitude webinar titled, “Girls and Women with ADHD.” It’s important to note, Hinshaw says, that self-harm is a “potent indicator” of future suicide attempts.This is an arresting statistic, particularly considering how self-harm and suicidality have spiked in adolescent girls in general. The most recent CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) report found that 1 in 10 girls has attempted suicide, and 1 in 3 of girls seriously considered suicide during the past year, which is an increase of nearly 60% from a decade ago.
