Sensory Overload and ADHD 💛

For many people with ADHD, everyday sensory input can sometimes feel too intense, leading to sensory overload. This happens when the brain struggles to process all the incoming information, which can trigger anxiety, irritability, restlessness, overwhelm, or difficulty focusing.

Some common triggers include:

🔵 Touch: crowded areas, unexpected contact, or being too close to others
🔵 Texture: certain fabrics, scratchy clothing labels, or food textures
🔵 Sound: loud noises, overlapping conversations, or constant background sounds
🔵 Sight: bright lights, flashing screens, or visually busy spaces
🔵 Smell: strong perfumes, cooking aromas, or cleaning products
🔵 Taste: intense or unusual flavours
🔵 Multitasking: juggling too many tasks or decisions at once

Receiving a formal ADHD diagnosis can be the first step toward understanding these experiences. With tailored strategies and support, it is possible to reduce sensory overwhelm and improve daily well-being.

✨ Learning your triggers and finding what helps can make life calmer and more manageable. ✨

🧠 Misconception: ADHD is not that serious

ADHD is more than occasional distraction or restlessness. It can influence many areas of everyday life, including education, work, relationships, and social situations.

For many people, ADHD creates ongoing challenges that neurotypical individuals do not have to navigate. Because ADHD is not always visible, people may appear to be coping well on the outside, even when they are struggling internally. This is often due to masking.

Masking happens when someone consciously or unconsciously hides their ADHD traits to fit expected social norms. While it can help someone get through the day, it often comes at a cost. Over time, masking can increase stress, anxiety, depression, reduced self confidence, and burnout.

ADHD is real, complex, and deserves understanding and support.

ADHD doesn’t stop at the office door 🧠💼

Many adults with ADHD thrive at work, especially when the right support and adjustments are in place. Reasonable adjustments such as flexible start times, clear written instructions, regular check-ins, quieter workspaces, noise-cancelling headphones, or breaking tasks into manageable steps can make a real difference to focus, productivity, and wellbeing.

Alongside employer support, there are also changes you can make for yourself, including structuring your day, using planners or reminders, working in focused time blocks, and finding ways to reduce distractions that work for you.

ADHD in the workplace isn’t about lowering expectations; it’s about creating an environment where people can do their best work. If you’re finding work challenging and need help navigating ADHD at work, support is available, and you don’t have to do it alone 💜

When dopamine is low, focus, motivation, and emotional balance become much harder to access. This is not a personal failing. It is how the ADHD brain is wired.

☕ That is why small, everyday actions matter.
☕ Meditating or slowing down
☕ Celebrating a small win
☕ Journalling
☕ Listening to music
☕ Getting some fresh air
☕ Doing something creative

These are not big life fixes. They are gentle ways to refill the cup and those small refills add up.

If today feels harder than usual, your cup might just need topping up 💜

Getting back into routines after the holidays can be especially challenging when you have ADHD. Rather than trying to reset everything at once, focus on one or two simple anchors in your day, such as a consistent wake up time or a short wind down routine in the evening.

Small, consistent habits can help rebuild a sense of structure without adding pressure. Extra reassurance, clear expectations, and time to settle back in can make a real difference. Progress does not need to be perfect. Gentle and manageable steps are often the most sustainable.

If this resonates with you or your family, you are not alone.

🧠 Myth: People with ADHD are lazy or just need to try harder

Some of the most accomplished people in the world have ADHD. Olympic champion Michael Phelps, record-breaking Formula One driver Sir Lewis Hamilton, and actor Tom Holland have all spoken openly about their diagnoses.

Could anyone honestly call Michael Phelps lazy when he spends five to six hours in the pool every day?

This myth comes from a misunderstanding of ADHD. It is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the brain’s ability to manage attention, planning, and self regulation. It is not a reflection of effort, motivation, or character.

Telling someone with ADHD to “try harder” is like telling someone with poor eyesight to “look harder.” Support, understanding, and the right strategies make all the difference.

ADHD is real. Effort is not the problem. 💛

✨ Happy New Year from all of us at the ADHD Clinic ✨

A new year often comes with talk of fresh starts, big goals, and resolutions. For many people with ADHD, this can feel exciting but also overwhelming. If you are feeling pressure to do everything perfectly from day one, please remember that change does not have to be instant to be meaningful.

Progress can be gentle, flexible, and shaped around what works for you. Small steps, realistic expectations, and self-compassion matter far more than perfection.

As we move into the new year, we want to thank our wonderful team for their continued care and dedication, and our valued patients and families for allowing us to support them on their journey.

We wish you a year filled with understanding, growth, and support, at your own pace. 💛

✨ Wishing you a calm and positive New Year ✨

For some people, New Year’s Eve is exciting and energising 🎆 For many people with ADHD, it can feel loud, unpredictable, and emotionally intense.

Fireworks, flashing lights, busy spaces, and changes to routine can quickly become overwhelming. If tonight feels like too much, that response is valid 💜

You are not being difficult.
You are not overreacting.
You are not too sensitive.

Your brain processes stimulation differently, and that difference deserves understanding, not judgement.

Swipe through for some gentle ways to help make tonight feel more manageable and to support celebrating in a way that works for you ✨

However you choose to welcome the new year, we hope it feels safe, supportive, and right for you 🤍

Jim Carrey and neurodiversity in motion 🎭💡

Jim Carrey has spoken openly about his lifelong mental health struggles and learning differences, including dyslexia and traits linked with ADHD. He has been honest about the highs and lows behind the characters we see on screen, and how understanding his mind has been a vital part of his wellbeing.

Carrey often describes creativity as the place where he feels most connected and grounded. Acting, art and humour have helped him make sense of difficult emotions and manage symptoms throughout his life. His story shows that understanding your inner world matters just as much as recognising your strengths.

For many adults, exploring whether ADHD plays a role in how they think, feel, and function can bring clarity, stability and self-compassion. It can help explain emotional intensity, racing thoughts, impulsive moments or the need for creative outlets.

At The ADHD Clinic, we support adults who want answers, understanding and a clearer picture of their mental health.

💜 You deserve to understand your mind and to feel supported as you do.

This Christmas, we would like to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible team for their dedication, care, and commitment. We also want to thank all our valued patients and families we have had the pleasure of supporting. Your trust means so much to us.

Christmas can be a joyful time, but for many people with ADHD it can also feel overwhelming, with changes to routine, lots of stimulation, and big emotions. If this resonates with you or your child, please remember that it is okay to celebrate in a way that works for you. Keeping some familiar routines, taking quiet breaks, and being gentle with expectations can really help.

However you are spending this Christmas, we hope it brings moments of rest, connection, and kindness towards yourself and those around you.

✨ Wishing you a very Merry Christmas ✨
