We’re launching a new study on child development in Wales! 🌱 If you’re a parent or carer of a child aged 9–11, we’d love to hear from you. 🧩 Taking part is easy: visit bit.ly/ADHDbears to know more. Your input will help us learn more about children’s development and support future research. 💡

✨ New ADHD study alert! ✨ October is ADHD Awareness Month and what better time to study #ADHD? We're recruiting parents & carers of children aged 9-11 (years 5 & 6) with and without ADHD, who are living in Wales. See more info on our study page: bit.ly/ADHDbears Please re-post and share!

We're overdue to start a conversation about the language we use when talking about ADHD research. We need to work towards neuro-affirmative, inclusive & compassionate language that respects people with ADHD. The power of words: respectful language in ADHD research www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

New pre-print! ✨ Antecedents and outcomes of a late ADHD diagnosis in females: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... TLDR: This study finds evidence that a delay in ADHD diagnosis has profound and clear consequences by adolescence and this disproportionately disadvantages females (people who are AFAB).

We're looking for families in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 who are interested in helping us shape our research on ADHD working with @wolfsoncentre.bsky.social & @thencmh.bsky.social at Cardiff University. Please help us spread the word! 😊

New paper day! 💫 An item-level systematic review of the presentation of ADHD in females: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... TLDR: few studies present such granular results but we did find some interesting sex differences that go beyond just considering differences in total ADHD symptoms.
