WHO WE ARE
Alex Wolstencroft
Francis Waters
Sally Waters
Kerim Jaspersen
Adrian Lamb
The Adult ADHD channel was formed when the five of us met at the Leeds Adult ADHD support group in September 2018. Four of us have ADHD (Alex, Francis, Kerim and Adrian) and Sally is married to Francis, so she became an expert out of necessity.
We believe there is less support and information available for adult ADHD compared with the diagnosis and management of ADHD in children. No two people with ADHD are the same. However, we share familiar frustrations, missed opportunities, and struggles.
We want to show a variety of perspectives about what it's like to have ADHD as an adult. We also want to support adults who suspect they may have ADHD or have a confirmed ADHD diagnosis, whether recent or from 20 years ago.

WHAT IS ADHD?
#ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It's not a great name - ideally it would be called Executive Function Disorder.
Executive functions are “a set of processes that all have to do with managing oneself and one's resources in order to achieve a goal.” (Source: www.ldonline.or...)
Executive functions include:
Inhibition of impulses
Shifting your thinking flexibly from one situation to another
Controlling emotions
Initiating a task
Planning
Self-monitoring
