Happy ADHD Awareness Month! 🧠💛 This month we celebrate those with ADHD to spread awareness, elevate lived experiences, and promote access to care and progress in research! 

ADHD affects about 7 million children and 15 million adults in the United States! ADHD looks different in different people and can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender, and language ability.

Bilingualism does not cause or worsen ADHD. In fact, children in bilingual households are 4x less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. That gap isn’t about who has ADHD 👉🏽 it’s about who gets seen. Reasons include practitioner bias, diagnosis criteria built on a narrow group of people, language barriers between families and providers, and fear of stigma. 

Every person with ADHD deserves to be identified, understood, and supported with access to adequate care and strategies they need to succeed.
