What you don’t know about ADHD could change your life…
When I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I wasn’t surprised. I often find myself distracted easily and losing interest in tasks frequently. My organization skills can be lacking most would say, however, I know where all my stuff is placed in my ‘mess.’ I can’t sit longer than 2 minutes without fidgeting and have to bounce my foot back and forth to go to sleep.
What came as a surprise to me was the diagnosis testing, treatment, and world of ADHD that I didn’t know existed.
ADHD is More than Just ‘Not being able to sit still’ or ‘Not being able to Focus’
