“Back in my day, kids didn’t have ADHD.”

No, they had it.
They just weren’t diagnosed.
They were called lazy.
Told to “focus harder.”
Punished for fidgeting.
Shamed for not fitting into a box their brains were never designed for.

They were the kids who couldn’t sit still in class.
Who got in trouble for talking too much or daydreaming too often.
The ones who grew up thinking something was wrong with them
when really, no one understood what was going on inside.

Those kids became adults who still struggle to feel “enough.”
Who overthink everything.
Who mask their symptoms to blend in.
Who still carry the weight of being misunderstood their whole lives.

So no… ADHD isn’t new.
Awareness is.
And that’s what changes everything.

October is ADHD Awareness Month
and it’s not about excuses.
It’s about understanding.
Because the more we know,
the more our kids will grow up seen instead of shamed.
