10. SUPPORTING ADHDERS AND CARERS
The benefits of diagnosis – in their own words....
Empowerment:
'Through a concrete diagnosis of ADHD, I now have
an explanation of my life story.'
Knowing your strengths:
'A constantly distracted mind that jumps from one
idea to the next is also a mind that is rapidly giving
birth to new ideas and designing creative solutions to
life's problems.'
Access to medication:
'Small changes around the house: bills paid, table
cleared, laundry done and put away.‘
