Symptoms of ADHD can range from mild to severe and may manifest differently across individuals. Common challenges include difficulty sustaining attention, following through on tasks, remembering details, and organizing activities. These symptoms can lead to academic struggles, difficulties in maintaining relationships, and challenges in work settings.

Diagnosing ADHD involves a comprehensive evaluation process, which includes clinical interviews, behavioral assessments, and gathering information from parents, teachers, or significant others.

Resilience: Managing ADHD can foster resilience and problem-solving skills. Those with ADHD often learn to navigate challenges, developing strategies that can be applied to various aspects of life.

Diverse Thinking: Individuals with ADHD may think divergently, approaching problems from unique angles. This can lead to out-of-the-box solutions that others might not consider.

Connective Empathy: Many with ADHD excel in understanding and empathising with others, drawing on their own experiences of struggle to relate to and support those around them.
