The Story of Alfie, age 13

"Hi my name is Alfie and I have ADHD.

"There are different kinds of ADHD, I have the more inattentive kind and I am able to manage my ADHD reasonably well but that is because I understand it.

"Every now and then I get told off when I get a little too inattentive but that is something I am working on.

"I hope someday every child will be able to manage their ADHD like I can but they need help to understand it first.

"I feel it is very important that children with difficulties are listened to and are taken seriously, it’s the only way things will ever change.

"I hope everyone who reads this will learn to understand."
