What Is ADD/ADHD?

Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a proven neurological condition which is estimated to affect approximately 1% of children in the U.K. although figures in the U.S. are 3-5%. Dr. Christopher Green, an Australian Paediatrician, believes that 2% of Australia's school children are disadvantaged by this condition and it is possible that 10% may have a mild degree of the disorder. Though widely diagnosed and treated in the U.S. and Australia, the condition, as yet, is not widely recognised in the U.K.

The first behaviours are often found in early childhood, most children start to become recognised as having ADHD between the ages of 5 & 9 years. The condition continues throughout the school years and it is thought that 60% of children will carry some symptoms through to adulthood.

It is thought that ADHD can either be attributed to an hereditary or genetic cause or to damage to the fetus' brain during pregnancy or to the child's brain at or after birth. More.....

In Memoriam

Sarah-Jayne Bass - ADHD support group co-founder

This site is dedicated to the memory of Sarah-Jayne Bass (formerly Caroline Hensby) who tragically passed away on 6th February 2010 aged just 47. Sarah-Jayne was the co-founder of adders.org and helped many hundreds of families since 1997 cope with all matters relating to ADHD and Special Needs. She was a very active member of the ADD/ADHD community in the United Kingdom, meeting government officials and campaigning for better rights for ADDers and their families. Sarah-Jayne left behind three sons, Michael, Richard and Alan and her partner Adrian. The UK national ADD/ADHD Charity, ADDISS set up a page for donations in her memory. Sarah-Jayne's sons and Adrian were extremely grateful for the donations made, which were all given to help towards her funeral expenses.
