October is ADHD Awareness Month 💚

ADHD is a form of neurodivergence that reflects natural differences in how people’s brains process attention, activity, motivation and impulses.

Everyone experiences ADHD differently. For some people, it can come with strengths like creativity, curiosity, energy, deep focus and new ways of approaching problems. It can also make some parts of everyday life more challenging, especially when environments aren’t designed to support different ways of thinking and working.
