ADHD is not a behavioural disorder - why we need a public health campaign & better teacher training to ensure children are not harmed or fail in education because of ensuring myths & stigma. ADHD affects 1 in 20. Isn’t it time we did something about it?

“ADHD Is Not a Behavioral Disorder.”

Clinical psychologist Thomas Brown tells why middle-aged women suddenly develop ADHD, why brain imaging is worthless in diagnosing the condition, and why many doctors just don't understand attention...

If you think ADHD is a quirky social media trend, you’re not listening to people who have it

Don't undermine the realities of this condition with baseless assumptions

Echoing Sir Ken Robinson’s quote that transforming education does not mean ‘standardisation’ but rather ‘personalisation’ -an educational paradigm fit for the 21st century. 21st century children, 21st Century Society, 21st Century Citizenship & 21st Century economy demands it..☂️

#Neurodiversity ☂️ would Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, Mozart, Alexander Graham Bell, Eleanor Roosevelt, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Stephen Spielberg, Thomas Edison, & countless other genius talents…. have thrived & achieved in our schools today-or would they have been excluded?

Don’t dismiss ADHD as simply hyperactivity, poor concentration & impulsivity-to do so is to trivialise what can be very debilitating. Unmanaged it’s impact can be ‘disabling’. Please take this issue seriously. It affects 1 in 20 to varying degrees. We all know someone with ADHD

It’s no wonder over 30% of entrepreneurs, executives & leaders are ADHD& that ADHD Uni Graduates are twice as likely to start their own business. Who said ADHD means low ability, unemployable or disabled? Not the young people with ADHD who have teachers who believe in them #ADHD

Why in our education system do we see Neurodiversity through a lens of “what you can’t do” rather than what you can? Why do we mistakenly assume children with dyslexia, ADHD, etc are ‘less able’ - ‘less intelligent? What exactly are we measuring? ☂️
