Does ADD/ADHD count as a disability?

Yes, legally and technically it is. A person with an attentional disorder can be registered under the Disability Discrimination Act. So, if you are at school or in higher education you can access exemptions, such as additional time and flexibility for assignments and different arrangements for exams. If you are in that situation, I will complete the relevant applications for you.

These provisions serve to ‘level the playing field’ so that the academic challenges ADHD individuals encounter are as close as possible to the challenges for non-ADD individuals.

Feel free to watch all my videos on YouTube. I talk about medication for ADD/ADHD, testing methods, its impact on relationships etc.
