We know that people with ADHD have so many gifts and incredible ways of thinking which can make a huge contribution to the world. Yet, so much of this nuance is lost in the deficit-based, medical model which sees ADHD as a list of “symptoms” that need to be “treated”.

Whilst we don’t underestimate the difficulties that ADHD can cause, we also know that when we feel creative, hopeful, and connected to our purpose, anything is possible for us and our amazing minds.

Many of us who were late-diagnosed or have self-diagnosed, have spent our whole lives in survival mode, because we did not know that our brains were different. We may have spent many years believing we were broken and have struggled with periods of depression, anxiety and burnout.
