In recognition of ADHD Awareness Week, CHADD, the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA), and ADDitude magazine have joined forces to raise the public’s understanding of the impact that ADHD can have on personal relationships throughout an individual’s lifetime.

This year’s theme - From First Years to Golden Years: ADHD and Life’s Relationships - focuses on the key times in a person’s life when ADHD poses relationship challenges.

Some local CHADD groups will hold ADHD fun days that will allow communities across the country to focus on issues important to those affected by ADHD.
