Physical Paperpack copy of ADHD Explained
-
ADHD Explained is a powerful compilation of real-life experiences gathered during my time as a Psychosocial Specialist, where support and guidance to those with ADHD were provided. This book aims to offer relatable examples and straightforward explanations to help readers comprehend the symptoms, characteristics, and challenges faced by those with ADHD.
Dispelling myths, addressing misconceptions, and shedding light on the difficulties individuals with ADHD face, including the lack of recognition by some medical professionals.
 
This book seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of why individuals with ADHD behave the way we do. By increasing readers' awareness of ADHD as a disability, this book equips them to better support individuals with ADHD, and ultimately reducing stress within households.
 
Explaining why people with ADHD do the things they do.
- Why explaining things over and over won't make a difference.
- Why they forget to pick things up.
- Why they forget the conversation you just had with them.
- Why they have 'selective hearing.' Why they just can't sit still and why they can't remember to do the same thing they are meant to do every single day.
- Their behaviour isn't the problem, their behaviour is a symptom.
