Tiimo celebrates ADHD Awareness month

The theme of this year’s ADHD Awareness month is understanding a shared experience. While presentations of ADHD will differ between between individuals, due to external societal factors those in the ADHD community often find that they have very similar experiences of living with ADHD. The aim of this year's theme is to highlight those areas of commonality, with an aim to challenge structural issues for ADHD’ers while also building bonds within the community.

Tiimo's most popular blogposts on ADHD

Looking back over just the past two years, it is absolutely incredible to see how far the general population’s understanding and awareness of ADHD has come. We are particularly delighted to see an increase in both discussion about and diagnosis rates for women, non-binary people, those on the gender spectrum, and Black, Brown, Indigenous and Melanated People (as coined by Louise “Weeze” Doran). There is also a definite uplift in more people being diagnosed later in life. We hope that for all in the ADHD Community, diagnosed or not, the process of learning more about how your brain works and how you can work with it and not against it, is affirming. So whether you suspect you have ADHD, are in the process of getting a diagnosis or an OG ADHD’er - we share below some of our most popular posts on ADHD and hope that you will find some helpful and supportive strategies and information in our work:
