ADHD coaching can help those with ADHD feel less overwhelmed, improve organisational skills, and work towards goals in a supported way.
What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition involving a number of behaviours. These can include hyperactivity, restlessness, inattentiveness and impulsiveness. ADHD usually first presents in childhood and can continue through to adulthood. It can also be diagnosed later in life. ADHD can be mistaken for laziness and a lack of drive, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Finding a way to work with ADHD and challenging misconceptions is something ADHD coaching can help with.
Some people with ADHD may find it harder to pause before reacting or speaking They may:
- find it hard to concentrate and sit still
- become hyper-focused on a particular task/activity/subject
- be easily distracted and sometimes act without thinking
- show extreme sensitivity to smell, sound and light
- interrupt or blurt things out in conversation
I want to be so proud of myself and prove everyone wrong who thinks that ADHD is a problem. A lot of my teachers would say, ‘He’s just a bad kid’. Well, no. Look where I am.
