24.01.2022 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Individuals with ADHD can present with problems such as difficulty paying attention, being overly active, impulsive behaviour etc. ADHD is treated by Behaviour Therapy, Psychotherapy and medications. Some false stereotypes that individuals with ADHD face are that they are lazy, make excuses, unmotivated and that they are uninte...lligent/have low IQ. These misconceptions can cause serious damaging effects such as negative self-perception, shame, discrimination, social isolation and can prevent an individual seeking help. #sunrise2sunrisecommunitycare #registeredndisprovider #ndis #onlyndis #disability #community #communitycare #activesupport #communityparticipation #assistivetechnology #occupationaltherapy #happyparticipant
