Thanks @DrJoSteer (author of "Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women") of @AforChildren for explaining on @BBCWomansHour today about how ADHD in girls and women can present differently to boys and men, and is often missed/misdiagnosed. #ADHD #supportgroup #mentalhealth

[BBC Woman's Hour @BBCWomansHour]

The number of women prescribed medication for ADHD has more than doubled in recent years. Is this due to its visibility on social media sites like TikTok? Josie Heath-Smith discovered she had ADHD after watching videos online. She joins @HayleyHassall. Listen from 10am ⬇️

Conditions like ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism and Dyspraxia are inherited Neurodevelopmental conditions. In order to support children with these diagnoses or who have mental health problems, Governments MUST also provide adequate and timely support to the parents too.

[Olivia Blake MP @_OliviaBlake]

As someone who is neurodivergent - & was only diagnosed with ADHD recently - I know the long term impact of late diagnoses on mental health.

Young people today deserve action to cut waiting times & improve screening so we can ensure early diagnosis of all neurodiverse conditions

[Owain Williams @ExpatTaff]

Michael @LivedLtd: thx for your heartfelt interview with @janegarvey1 @BBCRadio4's LifeChanging. Your work and aids like this from Alice @Rippletools might've helped my dear friend Jim who took his life in 2010 leaving behind wife & children. #MentalHealth

Seeing as ADHD is a lifelong Neurodevelopmental condition (50% of our Members also have Autism); is classified as a disability in The Equality Act 2010 and referrals for assessments are at an all-time high, it's a shame our support group wasn't invited to take part. Next year eh?

[Kingston Council @RBKingston]

Come along to our Disability Awareness Day in the Market Square, this Sunday from 1pm, to explore stalls from local groups!

Our Cllrs and Chief Exec have been taking part in activities to raise their awareness and promote the event 👇

[FastmindsADHDKingston @FastmindsADHD]

@RBKingston @CllrCarolineK @cllrchrisrbk @Ian_C_Thomas @TeamKCIL @KingstonMencap Seeing as ADHD is a life-long Neurodevelopmental condition; is classified as a disability under The Equality Act 2010), and assessment referrals are at an all-time high, it's a shame our ADHD Support Group wasn't invited to take part in this event.... maybe next year eh?

[Healthwatch Kingston @HWKingston]

We are delighted to be attending the Disability Awareness Day this Sunday.

We are looking forward to seeing lots of excellent local organisations, and will be talking to people about our All Age Partnership Board!

[The Future is ND @thefutureisnd]

“So this ADHD thing explains a lot: the impulsive behaviour, the drugs from a young age, not learning the alphabet until I was 28. Education is about remembering stuff and I could never remember anything, so I didn’t get an education.”

Wouldn't it be great if famous #ADHD-ers got together to share/compare their experiences as people with #Neurodiverse conditions? Eg. @Simone_Biles @richardbacon @rorybremner @MichaelPhelps @jtimberlake @iamwill @ShappiKhorsandi @antanddec #mentalhealth

[FastmindsADHDKingston @FastmindsADHD]
