ADHD is a disorder relating to the neurodevelopment of a person, occurring commonly in children that have been exposed to risks during pregnancy. People diagnosed with ADHD usually have difficulties paying full attention and controlling their behaviors. Adults could also have ADHD but many of them are not diagnosed and treated properly.
Knowing this, an adult artist diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 26 has decided to draw comics about her symptoms. She hopes to make people have a better and clearer understanding of this disorder.
