Introduction to the ADHD Pages.
This site isn't just about AD/HD! ADHD is a medical label given to a
person displaying a batch of symptoms that may well overlap with other
medical conditions like; Aspergers Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD
and similar neurological differences. You may well get diagnosed with
one of these conditions with one consultant only to find you get
diagnosed with a different label by different consultant. While we are
left wondering which condition we really have or do we have more than
one?
This site has used the term "hidden impairments" to look at issues
regardless to whether your diagnosed with AD/HD or something else. This
site is not just looking at all the difficulties caused by having a
medical condition! It's also trying to promote skills and talents we
have too! Chris has ADHD and AS and from very early childhood he
established brilliant drawing skills. Throughout this site you will see
many drawings by Chris, you can also go direct to his "Cartoon Page" on
this site. Hopefully this site will be highlighting more and more great
skills people have with hidden impairments.
With ADHD there is much debate going on around access to medical
support and whether drugs are right or not to use! However not so much
attention is given to weather people with AD/HD are able to experience
participating with society on equal terms. So this site is keen to look
at equal opportunities (discrimination) issues that people with ADHD
and similar neurological conditions may experience.
This site is; Attempting to open doors for people with hidden voices.

This is an article written by Chris Hayes when he was 15 years old and
then rewritten by him now he's 17 years old. It describes the common
Neurological Impairments which are often comorbids of ADHD and puts
them into 3 main groups. This article also talks about the way that all
of these conditions are very strongly linked together.
