The debate around ADHD, in the media, medical and scientific worlds, is reaching new heights. While the existence of autism on a spectrum is now widely accepted, understanding of the ADHD continuum lags behind.

Professor Jonna Kuntsi writes in the BMJ about how we need a greater awareness of the ADHD continuum — and how impairing the symptoms are, depends also on the context.
