Why This Matters?
In a world full of noise and misconceptions about ADHD, it’s easy to feel misunderstood or left behind. But real connection, understanding, and empowerment begin when we centre lived experience and lead with compassion.
ADHD is often misunderstood, leading to stigma and misinformed support in families, schools, and workplaces.
Many people feel isolated or unseen, not realising there’s a community that understands and affirms their experience.
This event helps shift the narrative, from focusing on what’s “wrong” to celebrating what’s possible with creativity, compassion, and connection.
