The Neurodiversity of ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. In adults, this often looks like executive function difficulties—trouble with planning, prioritizing, time management, and emotional regulation. It is a biological difference, not a failure of willpower.

Understanding how an ADHD brain works is the first step toward building systems and accommodations that support it. Many individuals with ADHD also experience co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression, making comprehensive care essential.
