Living with ADHD – level 3

26-05-2025 15:00

Henry is a tour guide working in central London who has ADHD, which stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

This condition makes it hard for him to do everyday tasks, like remembering appointments, sorting laundry, or even getting ready on time. Henry describes his brain as a tombola, a game where many random balls come out, representing thoughts and reminders he must manage. Sometimes the constant noise and instructions in his head overwhelm him, causing frustration and feelings of shame. He explains how this can make him feel like he is fighting his brain every day, struggling with even basic tasks. Despite these difficulties, Henry embraces his ADHD and says he doesn’t need fixing. His family understands the emotional challenges he faces and supports him with love.

By sharing his story, Henry hopes to help others understand that ADHD affects many parts of life, not just school, and that living with it means taking some detours but still moving forward.
