Knowing what to say and using the correct language when talking about ADHD can be difficult. With the useful information that we will be working on is a library of guides that are designed to help and can be used as tips when talking about ADHD, whether in public or in private. 

The aim of the guide is to encourage people to think about and stop using words/rhetoric (including words that elicit negative narratives and stereotypes) that tend to feed into the stigma surrounding ADHD and cause psychological harm to those living with the disorder, and instead, use language that fosters understanding and awareness of ADHD and aligns with the recovery paradigm i.e. hope for the future, acceptance of disability, personal empowerment, etc.(as outlined in the National Health and Medical Council Recovery-focused language guide).
