Expecting to have a small organisation treating 2-30 patients with 3-4 staff, 360 now employs 200+ staff and in July of this year they assessed 1,512 new patients, a record and more than the whole of the NHS put together.

For many, understanding ADHD traits reduces feelings of guilt and self-blame? Did you know that ADHD attention traits can be seen as a regulatory issue rather than a deficit? Want to learn practical strategies that can help manage the intense distractibility associated with ADHD? Today, we're exploring attention-related traits, how they manifest, and how understanding these can transform our guilt into empowerment. What's in This Episode? In this episode, we dissect the multifaceted nature of attention in ADHD, debunking the myth of it being a mere 'deficit' and exploring it as a complex regulation challenge.
