This book aims to provide valuable insights into the daily realities of those with ADHD, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and develop strategies to navigate the associated difficulties. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the functioning of the nervous system, particularly the brain. It typically manifests during childhood and continues into adulthood, presenting various symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattentiveness, distractions, and difficulties in completing tasks. However, it is important to recognize that ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Each individual's experience of ADHD is unique, influenced by factors such as age, gender, personality, and co-occurring conditions.
