Topic Tuesday // ADHD // Tuesday 22nd February, 7:00- 8:30PM AEDT

Hi SANE Lived Experience Forum,

This Tuesday the 22nd of February we invite you to join in a discussion about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with two very special guests! We will be welcoming the founder of ADHD Support Australia (adhdsupportaustralia.com.au ) to the SANE forums to share some helpful insights on living with ADHD and parenting a child with ADHD. Furthermore, we are joined by our very own @Jynx , who will be sharing their lived experience and probably a few memes thrown in for good measure!

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, and with increasing awareness more and more people are receiving a diagnosis later in life. ADHD comes in different forms and can impact people in various ways. Unfortunately, there are still misconceptions and stigma associated with ADHD and we hope to address these in our discussion with our lived experience experts, to give people a better understanding of the complexities of this condition.

Join the SANE Forums Community as we talk about ADHD from a lived experience perspective and hopefully alter some of the common misconceptions and discuss strategies to embrace it if you are living with or caring for someone with a diagnosis of ADHD.

Please join the discussion here on Tuesday the 22nd of February 2022 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEDT to follow this conversation.

One of the good things to come out of my recent diagnosis is talking with my sister about it, and her telling me that she has self-diagnosed as ASD.

We've had a couple of great conversations about the ways our brains work and how other people respond to that, in our family, work, relationships...

I'm really glad that my sister and I can talk about our neurodivergence and give each other emotional support

@Jynx There is a whole podcast on the hunter gatherer connection with adhd. My son loved being able to see a biological connection. It’s called “The drummer and the great mountain”

@Millieme that must be a really tough position for you to be in, seeing the role and impact for him in the positive, but also knowing he doesn't want to take the medication. Have you spoken with your son's doctor about all his medication options? There are quite a few different options out there, and lots of emerging treatments too. I am hoping your son can find an option that works for him
