ADHD Awareness Month highlights challenges, strengths and new toolsShare This StoryemailPrintLinkedinRedditBOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WNKY) — October is ADHD Awareness Month, and advocates say it’s a chance to break down misconceptions and highlight both the struggles and strengths of living with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. “People who are neurodivergent are frequently mislabeled and misunderstood,” said Hannah Bookbinder, a licensed social worker and ADHD coach. Alongside difficulties with focus and time management, ADHD can also carry hidden emotional weight. Bookbinder has worked with individuals with ADHD and executive functioning challenges for nearly three decades. “I think that people who have ADHD are really incredible, and it’s been really a privilege to work with them,” Bookbinder said.
