#HateToDisappointYouBut ADHD is likely not what you think it is. I'm saying this because most people think #ADHD is just hyperactive, naughty little boys, and it couldn't be more wrong. It affects life in so many ways. If you know people with it, please find out what it's about.

I keep raising #ADHDawareness because there are LOADS of undiagnosed #ADHD adults in the world, living their lives, struggling, wondering why almost everything is so difficult. I've read that about 80% of ADHD adults don't know they have it. It's tragic! I found out at 38 myself.

Not even all doctors/other professionals are aware of how ADHD can manifest(!) Lots of ADHD children therefore grow up undiagnosed. Many adults are now being diagnosed because there's more ADHD awareness about. Still, a lot more awareness is needed. Sharing your stories helps! 🤗
