When my son was first diagnosed at 10 with #ADHD, I questioned the diagnosis because I knew he could spend HOURS reading, playing with certain block building toys, and playing video games. What I thought I knew about ADHD was that it was all about an inability to focus. How could my kid who had intense interests that he spent hours doing have something that was exactly the opposite of fidgeting, distractedness, and inability to settle down and do a task? But hyperfocus IS part of ADHD. According to ADDitude magazine, "Hyperfocus is thought to result from abnormally low levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is particularly active in the brain’s frontal lobes. This dopamine deficiency makes it hard to “shift gears” to take up boring-but-necessary tasks." #ADHDParenting #Neurodiversity #ADHDMom https://www.additudemag.com/understanding-adhd-hyperfocus/?fbclid=IwAR34CqLCjuWJojVol8RUqQZKTLyrYtEPaGGdQANBsmyAQL5kNfpuK4_Xpyo
Hyperfocus: The ADHD Phenomenon of Intense Fixation

Hyperfocus, a common — but confusing — symptom of ADHD, is the ability to zero in intensely on an interesting project or activity for hours at a time. It is the opposite of distractibility, and it is common among both children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

This looks like a fantastic free resource from Anna Freud - National Centre for Children and Families:

"The aims of this booklet are to:

- Introduce the concept of neurodiversity in an accessible way

- Consider how ableism is a barrier to inclusion

- Explore neurodivergent profiles of development

- Develop practical approaches in becoming neurodiversity-informed within our early years practice."

Please all share!
