Does any of this feel familiar?

You start things… but struggle to finish

Forget things

You forget things—even when they matter

Time seems to disappear

Time seems to disappear

You feel constantly behind

You feel constantly behind, no matter how hard you try

This isn’t laziness. It’s how your brain is working right now—and it can be supported.

What starts to change with the right support

When you begin to understand how your brain works, things can start to feel different.

You may notice:

  • Feeling calmer and less overwhelmed day-to-day
  • Less frustration with yourself
  • A clearer sense of where to start
  • More control over your time and focus
  • Small changes that actually stick

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what works—for you.

Not sure if this applies to you?

Take this quiz to understand how ADHD traits might be showing up in your life.

Q1. Do you struggle to pay attention when listening to people, reading, or working on a task?

Many people with ADHD find that they struggle to ‘lock in ‘ when listening in lectures, meetings, and conversation.

It is often a struggle to focus you attention when reading, and this can lead you to thinking of something related to the text and going off in your mind, ‘on a tangent.’

You might find yourself making careless errors in your writing, which can impact your work emails, reports, and personal messages to friends and family.  

You might struggle to start a task, and keep going with it until it is finished.

You could be easily distracted by things happening around you that you need to check out. 

Are you always running late?

Do you ‘put things off’ until they absolutely ‘need’ to be done?

Do you get bogged down with one task and fail to finish others on your to do list?

Do you have a poor sense of time?

Are you opting to do the easier tasks, always delaying the harder ones until absolutely necessary?

Do you feel excessively stressed by tasks that demand a lot of attention and commitment from you?

Do you forget plans that you’ve made?

Do you struggle to organise and prioritise tasks?

Are you constantly searching for things you’ve misplaced, or leaving personal items behind?

Are you constantly fidgeting, shuffling in your seat?

Do you have to take movement breaks in order to re-energise and pay attention?

Are you the dominant speaker in your work or social group?

Are you a chatterbox and struggle to know when to stop or let others speak?

Do you have to say what’s on your mind at the time you think it? Often people tell us that this is because they would forget otherwise.

Are you considered ‘rude’ by people who don’t know you well?

Do you shout out an answer to a question without meaning to? 

Are you impulsive?

Are you jumping into plans without considering the time you have available?

Is your impulsivity affecting your finances or relationships?

Do you have trouble waiting your turn in shops, or online?

Are you leaving a game for a walk around whilst others are taking their turn?

If you answer “Yes” to all or most of the questions it may be useful for you to be reviewed for ADHD.

NB: Symptoms need to have been there in childhood, and currently be affecting several areas of your life, e.g. home, social, and work, and not better explained by another mental disorder, such as, Mood Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Dissociative Disorder, or a Personality Disorder.
