Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder affects approximately 1.8 million Canadians, including children and youth. And it doesn’t look the same for everyone.

This October, ADHD advocacy organizations are uniting around the theme “A Community of Support,” celebrating the power of positive connections to help people with ADHD feel understood and empowered. Their goal is to reduce stigma, build better public understanding and create a strong network of support.

The ADHD Awareness Month Coalition has compiled resources to answer common questions about ADHD and address myths. Visit their website to learn more.
