👏 Well said, Darryl Morris! ADHD isn't laziness, bad behaviour or a lack of effort. You can't simply tell someone to “try harder” and expect their brain to work differently.
🧡 ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, and the challenges people face are very real.
Understanding, reasonable adjustments and the right support can make a huge difference, whether at school, at work or in everyday life.
🎥 Definitely worth a watch! 👇
