Description
ADHD (Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects around 5% of the population. It can affect a person's ability to focus and can cause inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. ADHDers can be incredibly creative, out of the box thinkers, with high levels of energy and empathy, who remain calm under pressure.
