October is ADHD Acceptance Month and several groups in Nanaimo are putting on an event to highlight that ADHD– or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder– is more than just a disorder.
Chantelle Morvay is the Board Chair of the ADHD Advocacy Society of BC, she came down to the CHLY studio to talk about her diagnosis of ADHD later in life. She also spoke about an event the society is putting on this weekend to celebrate ADHD.
On October 20, the ADHD Advocacy Society of BC in partnership with Oceanview Pediatrics and the Nanaimo Child Development Centre is putting on, for the first time, an event for all ages that flips the script on what it means to have ADHD.
Morvay speaks about the stigma and misinformation that is around having ADHD and seeking a diagnosis for it while being an adult.
