Just in case you see this headline and agree with it. Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD costs billions. There’s no money being saved here #ADHD #NHS

I popped along to the socialising group in Glasgow today and it was heaving - 30 people or so all playing... dungeons and dragons? (or something like that at any rate!). It was so lovely to be a space where ADHDers were just chilling and enjoying; not even discussing waiting list problems! 😍😍😍

If you’re in/near Glasgow and have (or just think you might have) ADHD, come along to this tomorrow!

If you’re not, please share! 8 out of 9 people with ADHD have no diagnosis and no support; your repost could be the first step to someone getting the help they need.

We don’t just do coffee and boardgames!

We have a thriving WhatsApp Community where our members arrange all kinds of things together β€” like this hike up Ben A’an a few did recently.

There’s something for everyone at GAAPS, and if there isn’t… suggest it!

It’s not too hard to set up! We do coffee and board games. Coffee is easy β€” pick a coffee shop to meet in and advertise (handful of local fliers helps as well as online). Board games can wait until after a few people start coming/ you find a place to play 😊

Come along on Saturday (18th Oct) and play some games with people who, like you, can’t remember the rules or whose turn it is.

If it’s not for you, remember 1 in 20 of your followers have #ADHD, but most don’t know it.

You reposting this might be how they finally get help.

If you have a place to meet β€” coffee shop, library β€” and can advertise on social media/with a few fliers around town, it’s not too hard to set up. Build it and they will come!

A coffee meet up (we also do those) is also an easier place to start. Just need a coffee shop and a time β˜•οΈ

🌍 5% of people have ADHD
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ 0.3% of people are diagnosed
πŸ‘‰ 3.5 million undiagnosed
πŸ«₯ ...and they're struggling

ADHD is a disorder, not quirky scattiness. To be diagnosable it must have a debilitating effect on daily life.

3.5 million people struggling = under diagnosed.
