October is ADHD Awareness Month! 🧡

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a recognised neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It impacts areas of the brain that control attention, impulse regulation, and activity levels; meaning it can look very different from person to person.

People with ADHD may experience challenges with focus, organisation, and emotional regulation; but they also often show incredible creativity, problem-solving skills, and the ability to hyper-focus on topics that truly interest them.

It’s important to remember that ADHD is not caused by parenting style, diet, or screen time. It’s a difference in how the brain is wired, and with the right understanding and support, children and adults with ADHD can thrive.
