While the autism spectrum is now widely accepted, understanding of the ADHD continuum lags behind

Professor Jonna Kuntsi writes in @bmj_latest about how we need greater awareness of the #ADHD continuum + how to best target interventions

Read now: doi.org/10.1136/bmj....
#ADHDAwarenessMonth
       the extent to which a person’s ADHD symptoms—inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity—are an impairment in everyday life is dependent on the societal context. 

Acknowledging the role of social context can help to indicate when the need for intervention and support is greatest: when there’s a mismatch between the environmental demands and the characteristics of the person with ADHD.

Professor Jonna Kuntsi,
King's College London
