What do you think would help the world adapt to people with ADD and ADHD?

The world shouldn't have to adapt.

People shouldn't have to fit a mould to be accepted.

We should just be more embracing and open 💚🤗

I think more awareness in schools by teachers would be a great start, the teachers are often the least understanding.

Pediatricians should ask questions at every visit about the child's behavior and look for the most subtle signs of ADHD.

Pediatricians should encourage parents to discuss any quirks a child has, including difficulty communicating, clumsiness, and unusual flexibility. I had/have all of the above, plus missing/incomplete school assignments and extreme difficulty cleaning my room. I went undiagnosed until 4 years ago.

Did you know... hypermobility, or unusual flexibility, is common in females with ADHD?
