Unlocking Potential:

ADHD Through the Lens of Strengths

This October, Neurodiversity Life Skills (for parents) and The School of Life SA (for teachers) teamed up!

We celebrated ADHD for what it truly is — a source of creativity, resilience, and brilliance.

We ran:

✨ Daily tips, 🤝 Support Group, 🎙️ podcasts, 🎤 live events, and 📚 free resources — all designed to celebrate ADHD strengths and uplift parents, empower educators, and support teens.

What Was Happening?

October was ADHD Awareness Month worldwide.

It was all about raising awareness – Educating about what ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) really is, to reduce stigma and misconceptions.
We were:
- Highlighting strengths – Moving beyond stereotypes of ADHD being “just hyperactivity” or “laziness,” and showing the creativity, innovation, and resilience of people with ADHD.
- Encouraging understanding & support – Helping families, teachers, employers, and communities better support neurodivergent individuals.
- Sharing research & resources – Showcasing the latest science about ADHD, effective interventions, and tools that can make life easier.
- Building community – Creating spaces for people with ADHD, parents, and educators to connect and share experiences.

ADHD isn’t about being less — it’s about thinking differently. What looks like distraction is often creativity, what feels like restlessness is often energy, and what seems like chaos is often brilliance waiting to shine.
