Hiya @Invisible_me thank you so much for sharing this with us all. As a fellow Adhder it's nice to see that October is officially our month of acceptance and awareness. This is such a coincidence because I'm part of the well being champions in my workplace as part of my internship and after seeing your post on here I wanted to do something similar for our internal social media for it and talk about ADHD awareness month there because I feel there might be people who work there who are ADHD or may not know they have it or even got children with it etc. So it could be a good talking point for everyone.

Overall I think it's so good you mentioned about it because ADHD isn't often talked about to be fair especially in adults as the support system and process for it (currently the average waiting list is 10 years which feels like ages) isn't often highlighted or addressed much.

To all my fellow Adhders happy ADHD month and just be uniquely you .

Whilst I don't have ADHD myself, I've done enough studying in my degrees to have somewhat a good understanding of the condition, especially when it comes to things like diagnosis and support offered to those with ADHD.

So to everyone with ADHD, you are amazing just as you are. The world should be letting you work to your strengths instead of sometimes making you feel held back due to things like lack of support and adjustments.

Keep going
