What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is defined as a genetically inherited neurological condition present through childhood and into adulthood that is characterised by difficulties with distractibility, inattention, and varying levels of hyperactivity or restlessness which can interfere with everyday living. There are many myths about ADHD, and it is often portrayed as a negative, antisocial and debilitating medical condition.
Having ADHD herself, Rebecca believes this concept limits potential. When viewed as a neurological difference, there are many positives and benefits to ADHD that can provide distinct advantages with good management and self knowledge. The ingenuity, creativity, drive to be active, enthusiasm and intensity that comes with interest are valuable skills and traits that deserve development. Very often, it is environmental challenges and a lack of understanding of the needs of those with ADHD that makes every day life difficult.
