How does ADHD impact adults?
Living with ADHD affects far more than attention and organisation.
ADHD can influence so many areas of daily life.
Understanding where, how and why can help both ADHD and non-ADHD people make sense of experiences that might otherwise seem confusing or unrelated.
ADHD impacts the whole person
It isn't just how someone thinks.
A combination of Core ADHD and Everyday ADHD symptoms - affect how you think, feel, act, connect with others and experience the world around you.
The same differences that influence attention and focus can also shape emotions, behaviour, relationships and physical wellbeing.
ADHD symptoms can be impacted differently at work, school, home and in social situations.
Looking at the bigger picture can help us understand how seemingly separate struggles may be connected.
Growing up with ADHD
Growing up with ADHD means adults have a different experience of the world around them, quite often they have experienced more critisicm, negativity and misjudgement,
The impact of this often leave adults with ADHD with low self esteem - no matter how loved they are, succesful in their career, financially or materially wealthy they are.
This can lead to feelings of imposter syndrome, self- sabotage and lack of awareness about their place in relationships and the world.
ADHD looks different in all of us, but there are patterns many people share. Making sense of what we see and experience often starts with Understanding ADHD symptoms.
