I’ve seen a lot in the media recently suggesting we are all a little ADHD or that ADHD is not real.  And that the symptoms are just normal every day things.

Whilst I know some people do have this view, I strongly disagree.  For a start I have spoken others who definitely do not experience life in the same way as myself.

Sure we all have traits of various disorders and conditions at times, but that IS NOT THE SAME as having a chronic disorder.

As well as ADHD I have other medical conditions.  One is an essential tremor, noone would deny this, it’s easy to see, it’s also pretty harmless and mostly just mildly annoying.  Think of this though, most people, at some point will experience a time when they shake a lot, does this mean they have an essential tremor? Of course not!

So how in the world does being a little distracted once every now and again in anyway equate to having ADHD?  The answer is that it simply does not.

Imagine that every person who had a burning sensation whilst weeing decided they had an STD, it’s simply ridiculous.

So let’s stop doing that with ADHD, OCD, autism, GAD etc.

That is all!
