ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is a neurological disorder that generally affects children and teens.
A child suffering from ADHD syndrome finds difficulty controlling normal impulses and cannot easily focus or pay attention to tasks.
October month is celebrated as ADHD awareness month to educate the general population about this attention deficit disorder.
As part of the awareness campaign, we have created a collection of inspirational ADHD quotes and sayings from parents who have kids with ADHD.
