I thought this site was aimed at adults living with ADHD ?? not sure why all the links above solely focus on family parentals.
Posted by Harry | June 16, 2011, 11:12 pmThe links are there because ADHD can be a lifetime condition, so parents can have it as well as their children, and a very overlooked aspect of ADHD care is the transfer patients from child services to adult services.
Having said that, this particular page does seem to be lacking in actual stuff for adults with ADHD so thanks for drawing attention to this as we seem to have lost something in the transfer from the old site.
