Reading ADHD Group An adult ADHD support network

11/10/2026

This is a very refreshing response to some of the recent headlines about ADHD

07/10/2026

ADHD is no longer considered to be something for naughty schoolboys. ADHD in women, inattentive ADHD and some of the common ADHD experiences, like masking, burnout and RSD, have made their way into wider public discourse. There is an app, podcast episode or book that covers just about every ADHD-related experience.
Awareness is by no means a bad thing, but it's time to turn awareness into action.

You’ll often hear autistic people say, “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.” Swap autism for ADHD and it still holds. It’s become a bit of a cliché, but it’s true. ADHD has many faces. The trouble is, the support you get depends on your personal circumstances.

We have a new blog post on our website

In 2025, the government surveyed 966 people who had slept rough in the past year. Almost a quarter (24.5%) said they have ADHD, and only 61% of them had been diagnosed.

The Independent ADHD Taskforce found that among young people not in education, employment or training, 20–34% are likely to have ADHD.

Research suggests ADHD may be around five times more common among young offenders, and around ten times more common among adult offenders, than in the general population.

Yet proper ADHD support is too often behind a pay wall.

Staring at a blank page because you don't know where to start?

Theres a prompt for that

Copy this into any AI chatbot next time writing feels impossible:

"I want your help thinking this through, not writing it for me.
Situation: [what you're writing and why]
Audience: [who's reading it]
Tone: [e.g. warm and plain / direct and argumentative]
Don't draft anything. Ask me questions, then guide me through the first draft."

Save this one for next time you're stuck.

AI won't fix ADHD. But for some of us, it's turned out to be a genuinely useful, FREE tool, for breaking down tasks, organising thoughts, or just getting unstuck.

When a wheelchair user takes a lift instead of the stairs, nobody calls that cheating.

So why does it feel different when someone with ADHD uses AI to help them write?

Assistive technology has always meant using a tool to do something your brain or body finds harder to do alone

Text-to-speech, spell checkers, voice notes, timers. AI-assisted writing sits in exactly that category for a lot of people with ADHD.

Where do you land on this?

AMPLIFIED | FROM OUR NETWORK

Free training for Connect Reading members during ADHD Awareness Month this October.

We're sharing this opportunity from one of our members, Reading ADHD Group, which is offering free sessions delivered by Jamie Gordon to Connect Reading members during ADHD Awareness Month this October.

We think it sounds like a great practical session to help businesses better understand ADHD and create a more supportive workplace for neurodiverse employees.

Here's what they say:

"A workplace presentation on the rise of ADHD, what it is, what gets misunderstood, and what to do if someone on your team tells you they have it."

The 15-minute presentation, plus Q&A, covers:
- What is ADHD, including busting myths, misconceptions and media narratives
- The rise in ADHD and why self-identification matters - why so many more people now recognise it, and why not everyone will have a formal diagnosis
- Executive function: what executive functions are, how they affect performance and how to support people experiencing executive dysfunction
- What to do if someone on your team tells you they have ADHD, including what reasonable adjustments are, how to ask questions and how to negotiate

The presentation can be delivered on Teams or in person and is free to Connect Reading members.
