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.

Are the Comorbid Conditions
of ADHD the Same Impairment?
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.
