💭 What I want you to know

Hollie was diagnosed with autism and ADHD four years ago and has been sharing her experiences of living with both conditions.

In this post, Hollie shares some of the things she wishes more people understood — from the exhaustion of masking in social situations to the challenges of executive function and changes in routine.

Her experiences highlight how important it is to listen to neurodivergent people and recognise that challenges aren't always visible to others. Understanding and support can make a real difference to someone's everyday life. 💙

💜 You don't need a diagnosis to need support.

Waiting for an ADHD or autism diagnosis can be a long and difficult journey. But a lack of diagnosis doesn't mean a lack of need. Your experience is valid, regardless of diagnosis.

So, how can we create more supportive and inclusive workplaces for neurodivergent people, regardless of whether they have a formal diagnosis?

Read our latest article to find out why every experience matters and how small adjustments can make a big difference.

Nine years to get an adult ADHD diagnosis?

That's the reported average wait across Cheshire and Merseyside, where more than 10,700 adults are waiting for an assessment.

And this isn't just a local issue. Across England, hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for an ADHD assessment.

Behind those numbers are people trying to understand their experiences, manage everyday life and access the support they need.

If you're waiting for an assessment, you don't have to put everything on hold. There are practical steps you can take now, including asking about support from your GP and reasonable adjustments at work.

You shouldn't have to wait for a diagnosis to have your needs taken seriously.

🧠 ADHD doesn’t stop at the school gates.

When you think of ADHD, what comes to mind?

A child who can’t sit still? Someone who talks too much or struggles to concentrate?

That picture isn’t completely wrong — but it’s far from the whole story.

ADHD can look very different across age, gender and different environments. What might be noticeable at school can look very different in adulthood, particularly when the structure of school is replaced by work, deadlines, appointments and competing priorities.

And someone can appear to be coping while putting huge amounts of effort into managing their difficulties.

This ADHD Awareness Month, we’re looking beyond the stereotype and asking: what does ADHD really look like across a person’s life?

🧠 ADHD Awareness Month

ADHD is so much more than being easily distracted or “not trying hard enough.”

It can affect attention, motivation, memory, emotions, organisation, time perception, impulse control, and so much more, and it can look very different from one person to another.

For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re sharing a few things we wish more people understood about ADHD. 💛

Swipe through to learn more, challenge some common misconceptions and see ADHD from a different perspective.

Because understanding matters.
Compassion matters.
And ADHD is not a character flaw.

If you know someone with ADHD, this month is a great opportunity to listen, learn and ask what support actually looks like for them.

💬 What’s one thing you wish people understood about ADHD?
