As October is ADHD awareness month, I'm sharing my ADHD journey so far, what I've learned since getting my diagnoses aged 40, just 12 Months ago and what I feel we should all know as parents, teachers, partners and members of our wonderful globe!

ADHD Takeaways 

1.The brain isn’t fully understood, we are all learning and developing all of the time2.What is normal, there are no two humans the same, even identical twins have different fingerprints

3.Dyslexia can be paired with ADHD

4.OCD Is commonly paired with ADHD

5.ADAHD’S are highly creative, they can be inventive thinkers, they often think very differently. Big companies actively seek neurodiverse creatives

6.Family members will say ‘oh it’s the latest trend, answer by saying its only the same as giving someone glasses or a walking stick if they get diagnosed!

7. ADHD in girls is harder to pick up because they learn very young age to mimic others which masks any blocks and struggles.

8.ADHD does run in the family

9.We get used to struggle, get tested if you’re wondering you will be helping your family if you won’t think of yourself!
