ADHD is under diagnosed. Partly because it’s quite a long form and there’s so much else to read.

Do you think this “over-diagnosis” nonsense happened with left-handedness? Or with dyslexia? Just because heaps of people had _up until now_ been unidentified, and society was still playing catch up?

Hmmm - a change of heart at the Times re: ADHD? I’ve been banging on about this particular point re “over diagnosis” (spoiler: there isn’t any) for ages. A very balanced and thoughtful article…

Alan Menken opened his show at the London Palladium last night with an explanation of how he’s so creative: “I have an ADHD brain and get bored really easily. I was always changing the Bach piece I’d been given to practise into something new.” And I didn’t think I could love him more. #ADHD

Not re-posting the DM cos it's crass, but fuming re: their article on 'sickfluencers' encouraging ADHDers to get benefits so they can work... Um...they're _working_ because of this support?! They'll pay tax, have better mental health, need less support elsewhere. Isn't it obvious? #ADHD

Just got detailed, thoughtful feedback from colleagues - naturally I hid inside my cardigan throughout - and I think ‘cannot help but be creative’ is the loveliest depiction I’ve heard of my ADHD 😁

Thanks @joelrawlings.bsky.social - that’s really good to know ❤️

I love how having #ADHD involves filling in loads of paperwork and meeting loads of deadlines. Someone’s having a right laugh.

Wonder how many kids have been punished or labelled as ‘attention-seeking’ when they’re actually living with undiagnosed ADHD and it’ll only all make sense when they’re older.

Yeah hi, if we could STOP punishing ADHD kids by taking away their recess, that would be great. It is discouraging and de- motivating. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
