Continuing the Research - What Happens to Attention in ADHD
Last Saturday 7th September Dr Alison (Sally) Poulton led one of the biggest, most exiting ADHD Awareness Afternoons we have ever run.
- people with ADHD can relate to, and
- people who don't have ADHD can better understand
If you didn't get a chance to attend the event or make your contribution, it is not too late.
Sally has written: "I'm very happy to get more information from more people answering the questions:
- "What happens with your attention when you try to work, study or fill in a form?"
- "Can you think of any device or picture that illustrates how your brain functions?"

Dr Poulson plans to publish the results of assembling and analysing all the ideas generously provided. On Saturday she told all assembled that the next step might be to publish the illustrations that arise from the analysis and seek feedback on them.
ADDults with ADHD looks forward to supporting this next step in due course. Stay tuned.
ADHD Not Just For Kids: Excellent Video Resource
Watch and learn. Recommended resource about Adult ADHD today. Useful information about ADHD across the life-span.
"ADHD - Not Just for Kids" debunks some of the ignorance surrounding this invisible condition as more and more adults are recognised as having ADHD. The documentary follows the personal journeys made by adults who were diagnosed with ADHD late in life.
It also challenges some of the most persistent "myths" surrounding ADHD, through interviews with some of the leading experts in the area and a look at the most recent research into the field.
Make yourself comfortable, set aside 45-50 minutes and watch. You won't be disappointed and you may want to share it to increase awareness of what ADHD really is for adults. By the way you might have to skip past some adverts at the start and part way through.
