The ADHD Iceberg

Having ADHD is a complex experience, and for many of us much of that experience isn’t externally visible. Underneath the surface, within our hearts and minds and bodies, so much more is going on. Because people don’t often realize the extent to which ADHD impacts our internal experience, it can be difficult to explain the true breadth of our struggles to loved ones. Use this infographic to educate others and remind yourself that ADHD is so much more than what we see: physical hyperactivity, poor time management, and procrastination; that ADHD is so much more than its stereotypes. NOTE: “time blindness” is often considered to be an ableist term. The original design has been edited to reflect this inappropriate language. The listing image for the physical print will be updated soon to reflect this change. Please see the digital image and image description for the edited content which has been adjusted to say, “perception of time.”
