It’s Never Too Late to Talk About ADHD

by Suzanne Robinson Wednesday, October 29, 2025

I know I’m a little late to the party for ADHD Awareness Month, but as a mum to a little boy with ADHD, this isn’t just a month for me — it’s every single day. 💛

My son’s ADHD isn’t something I want to “fix” — it’s something I celebrate. It gives him creativity, energy, and an imagination that sees the world differently. I honestly believe it’s his superpower. But that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. ADHD comes with challenges that many families know all too well — navigating school systems, finding the right support, and trying to explain what “neurodivergent” really means to people who don’t live it every day.

So, even if Awareness Month is technically over, the conversation never should be. That’s why I’m excited to share some incredible voices and resources that are doing powerful things in the ADHD community — from parents, coaches, and educators to those living this journey firsthand.

💖 My Final Thought

ADHD isn’t about being “too much” — it’s about being uniquely wired for creativity, curiosity, and courage. Awareness isn’t a one-month thing. It’s a daily celebration of our differences, our challenges, and the beautiful ways our minds work.

So here’s to the dreamers, the wigglers, the talkers, and the kids (and adults) who can’t sit still because their ideas are too big to stay put. 💫

If you have a little one with ADHD, know this: you’re not alone. Their spark isn’t something to dim — it’s something to fuel.
