ADHD
ADHD is a way some people experience attention, activity level, and impulse control differently. It can make starting, focusing, or finishing tasks harder in some settings.
Definition
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental profile linked to differences in attention regulation and executive function. People may be quick thinkers or creative problem-solvers while also finding sustained focus or organisation challenging. Experiences vary across environments and across the lifespan. Support often includes routines, skill-building, and practical accommodations.
