This site isn't just about AD/HD! ADHD is a medical label given to a
person displaying a batch of symptoms that may well overlap with other
medical conditions like; Aspergers Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD and
similar neurological differences. You may well get diagnosed with one of
these conditions with one consultant only to find you get diagnosed with a
different label by different consultant. While we are left wondering which
condition we really have or do we have more than one?
This site has used the term "hidden impairments" to look at issues
regardless to whether your diagnosed with AD/HD or something else. This site
is not just looking at all the difficulties caused by having a medical
condition! It's also trying to promote skills and talents we have too! Chris
has ADHD and AS and from very early childhood he established brilliant
drawing skills. Throughout this site you will see many drawings by Chris,
you can also go direct to his "Cartoon Page" on this site. Hopefully this
site will be highlighting more and more great skills people have with hidden
impairments.
With ADHD there is much debate going on around access to medical support and
whether drugs are right or not to use! However not so much attention is
given to weather people with AD/HD are able to experience participating with
society on equal terms. So this site is keen to look at equal opportunities
(discrimination) issues that people with ADHD and similar neurological
conditions may experience.
This site is; Attempting to open doors for people with hidden voices.
