ADHD Aware

We support adults impacted by ADHD feel connected, supported and understood

Living with ADHD comes with questions. Lots of them.
Is ADHD hereditary? Should I medicate? What lifestyle changes will relieve my symptoms?

It also comes with its fair share of challenges.
And not just the obvious – such as difficulty focusing on tasks, poor time management or being easily distracted.

You may have difficulty dealing with criticism and rejection. Perhaps you struggle with sensory processing issues that can leave you overstimulated and overwhelmed. Or maybe you feel isolated and don’t know where to turn for reassurance and advice.

That’s where we come in. We’re ADHD Aware – a charity that exists to support adults with ADHD.

Led by volunteers with lived experience, we’ve spent over a decade helping adults with ADHD feel understood, supported and less alone.

Testimonials

It’s been great to know that I’m not alone in the struggles I have in managing my ADHD symptoms and really valuable learning more about other people’s experiences.
Online Drop-In
Hearing stories and struggles from talented, bright and unique people inspired me back into education. Thank you ADHD Aware! I feel like I finally found my tribe!
In-Person Drop In
I was diagnosed at 74 after a lifetime of instinctively devising coping strategies and having no idea why I felt so out of step. Meeting this group of all ages has helped me understand the huge difficulties neurodivergent people face and how ADHD impacts our lives. As I live alone I find it very comforting to hear everyone else’s stories.
Online Group Discussion
Attending support sessions has made a tremendous difference! I’ve met people like me, made and sustained friendships, understood both myself and others and generally felt that I do have a place in the world, despite my neurodiversity. It's been invaluable. I am totally enthusiastic about it. Thank you so much!
In-Person Group Discussion
In a world that sometimes looks alien and strange, the monthly meetings give me a safe space to share my experiences and feel less isolated. Meeting people who’ve experienced similar struggles helps you realise you can persevere, flourish and be well, as many others lead with example, which is reassuring and gives us all hope.
