October is ADHD awareness month

01 October 2026

October is ADHD Awareness Month, a time to increase understanding of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and celebrate the strengths, talents and contributions of people with ADHD. 

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, impulse control and activity levels, but it presents differently in every individual. This awareness month encourages us to challenge myths, reduce stigma and promote supportive, inclusive environments where children, young people and adults with ADHD can thrive. To learn more about ADHD and access information, support and resources, visit ADHD UK and the ADHD Foundation
