My 5 children have ADHD.I live daily with the intense pressure of being expected to excel, and constantly expecting to fail; the crippling shame, and intense guilt and anxiety; feeling frazzled, and being clueless how to explain why my ADHD brain won’t focus to those who need to know is totally draining. ADHD in women is largely unknown in the UK, misdiagnosed and largely goes untreated. I live daily with the extreme behaviours that are part of the ADHD child makeup. I live daily with the acute worry and anxiety over my ADHD children's future. I live daily with the mistreatment of my ADHD children through those in authority who pay lip service to the neurodiverse accommodations in our schools and further education settings...I witness daily the damage that this causes to my children and to myself.
