At Souls Unleashed, we believe in embracing the diverse ways brains can work. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurotype typically first identified in childhood, although diagnoses among adults have significantly increased in recent years. In the United States alone, over six million children between the ages of 3 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD.
ADHD is marked by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can make it challenging for individuals to function in ways often expected in a neurotypical world.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is ADHD only a childhood disorder?
No. While ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, it frequently persists into adulthood. Many adults discover they have ADHD later in life when symptoms become more disruptive or responsibilities increase.
