Let’s get something straight from the beginning: ADHD is not a flaw. It’s not a lack. And it’s definitely not the character flaw it’s sometimes made out to be.For a long time, people treated ADHD like something to be “fixed.” Kids with ADHD were told to sit still, try harder, focus more, stop being disruptive, and act normal. But the truth is, ADHD isn’t about not trying hard enough. It’s about having a brain that works differently, and in a lot of ways, that difference is a strength.ADHD is challenging, sure. But for many people, it’s also the thing that makes them creative, spontaneous, full of energy, and deeply intuitive. It’s the reason they’re quick thinkers, out-of-the-box problem solvers, and endlessly curious. When you look at it that way, ADHD isn’t just something to “manage.” It’s a superpower.
Is ADHD over or under-diagnosed? What impact does over or under-diagnosis have on families, communities, and students?
How can mentorship impact students? What value does it have?
Whether you’ve lived with ADHD your whole life or discovered it recently, you deserve support, tools, and a way forward that honors your brain’s unique design.
ADHD and ASD have links and overlaps. The more we learn, the more we realize just how complex, nuanced, and intertwined these conditions can be.

Help your kids (and yourself) by prepping effectively and preemptively before starting at a new school to mitigate some of the uncertainties and newness to come.
