Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD

October is ADHD awareness month. So let’s explore what ADHD is and is not!

ADHD is a common but also widely misunderstood diagnosis. Our understanding of ADHD and how to support someone with ADHD is rapidly changing.

In order to help us better understand ADHD it can be helpful to start off busting some myths and understanding some facts.

The following myth vs fact information sheet was taken from: https://www.adhdaustralia.org.au/

To see the full document with more in depth information relating to each myth you can visit:

If you are interested in learning more about ADHD there are some great books and podcasts out there too.

Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like some suggestions.

Or if you know of some resources that have been helpful for you or your family I’d love to hear about those too!
