ADHD Awareness Month 2021

Lodged by Karen Adam (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that October is ADHD Awareness Month; understands that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting both children and adults around the world; acknowledges that ADHD is underdiagnosed among the general population and considers that there is not enough understanding of the day-to-day impact that it can have on neurodivergent people living with the condition; notes that this year's theme is Reframing ADHD: Discovering New Perspectives; commends the exceptional work of the Scottish ADHD Coalition, the ADHD Foundation, the UK ADHD Partnership and AADD-UK in providing support and raising awareness of the condition; appreciates the importance of ADHD Awareness Month in its mission to educate the public by disseminating reliable, evidence-based information; wishes the organisers, volunteers and everyone involved continued success, and passes on its best wishes for the future.
