October is ADHD Awareness Month. ADHD exists in 1 in 20 human beings; Dyslexia 1 in 10, Dyspraxia 1 in 10, Autism 1 in 67, Dyscalculia 1 in 10. 20% human beings & ‘children’.Such prevalence tells us there is an evolutionary purpose why diversity of mind is akin to biodiversity.

Sometimes in therapy I talk to adults who tell me how it felt to be the ‘worst behaved’ in the class, and the time that the whole class lost their playtime because of them. How no one would play with them or even talk to them the next day. These aren’t inspirational memories.
