Thank you so much @martinlindsay_ & @BBCNews for helping us raise awareness to the impact of these waiting times on people seeking an ADHD diagnosis
We can and we will change this for the better. The stigma around #ADHD #Neurodiversity is costing lives and we need it to stop

Fantastic #ADHDAwareness raising from the brilliant @rorybremner. We have strengths and challenges with #ADHD, support us and help us to realise our potential! Early diagnosis is critical. Well done, Rory, spot on. #ADHDAction.

'It's a superpower, it really is.'
@rorybremner opens up about living with ADHD, and says people who have the condition can embrace it and use it to their advantage to become successful.

At #ADHDAction we are passionate about teachers and other professionals being trained to spot signs of #ADHD, so there is less chance of an ADHDer slipping through into adulthood without a diagnosis.

Whis is #ADHD off the radar? Recent piece I wrote for @SENMAGAZINE on the national emergency far too many professionals are ignoring. senmagazine.co.uk/home/articā¦ #SEN #SENCO #Teachers #Education #Neurodiversity

Itās so disheartening to see this #antiscience rhetoric being pushed publicly by prominent psychologists.
Medication saves many lives, including my own.
This damaging message is at best stigmatising and hurtful for those with #ADHD, #depression, etc...and at worst lethal.

So.. Psychopharmacology makes money off of peopleās pain. We all need to see this more clearly.... There is an economic benefit to stopping people understanding ACES.

Great to open the @ADHDFoundation conference today.
We are making leaps and bounds in ending the stigma around #ADHD and, with our APPG we are holding the Government to account, pushing for real change in diagnosis and treatment.
