Do you know about Symptoms in Girls?
If you’ve noticed that your daughter seems to experience the world a little differently – perhaps more intensely, or more quietly – it might have raised some questions. She might breeze through academic work but find social situations confusing or overwhelming. Or she might appear perfectly fine at school, then come home and fall apart.
Often, it’s not the loud behaviours that prompt concern, but the quiet patterns: exhaustion after social interactions, a need for rigid routines, or an intense interest that goes far beyond a passing phase. These signs can be subtle, and they often go unnoticed, especially in girls... 👉https://sbee.link/jkv698amhw

How much do you know about High Functioning ?
Do you ever feel like your brain’s running five tabs at once but none of them are loading properly? Maybe you’re juggling work, relationships, and responsibilities on the outside, but behind the scenes it’s a constant battle with forgotten appointments, last-minute rushes, and a mind that just won’t sit still.
That’s the reality for many people with what’s often called high-functioning ADHD.
It’s not an official diagnosis, but it’s a term that’s come to describe those who appear to be managing on the surface, often doing well at school, work, or home, while quietly struggling with focus, organisation, emotional ups and downs, or mental exhaustion.
Because these individuals often don’t “look” like they have ADHD, their difficulties are easily dismissed, even by themselves. They’re seen as scattered, anxious, disorganised, or just a bit intense. But the truth is, ADHD isn’t always obvious. Sometimes, it hides in plain sight. See the full article 👉https://sbee.link/eru7mxkwjq

Explore what high-functioning ADHD really entails, including symptoms in adults, women, and children. Learn how masking, hidden struggles, and success in various areas can coexist with challenges like impulsivity, disorganisation, and emotional overwhelm.

Do you know about ARFID and ?
If mealtimes have become a daily source of stress – for you or someone you care about – and you’re starting to wonder if it’s something more than just being a fussy eater, you might need to consider if it could be ARFID.
For autistic individuals, eating difficulties are extremely common, but one condition that’s increasingly recognised is Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, or ARFID. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID isn’t driven by concerns about weight or body image. Instead, it’s often linked to sensory sensitivities, fear of certain food experiences, or simply a lack of interest in eating. Read the full article👉https://sbee.link/kgu3hrm4fj

ARFID and autism frequently co-exist. Learn about ARFID symptoms, treatment options, and how ARFID’s pattern of eating often reflects sensory overload and social or communication challenges. Explore diagnosis and support in the UK, including NHS access and private therapy for adults and children.

Are you familiar with the term Masking?
Have you ever felt like you’re performing your way through the day, appearing organised, calm, and in control, while inside you’re juggling chaos and hanging on by a thread? That might not just be stress or personality. For many people with ADHD, it’s something called masking – and it’s exhausting.
Masking is when someone hides or compensates for their ADHD symptoms to fit into school, work, or social settings. It’s a strategy that helps people “get by,” but over time it can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a deep disconnect from who they really are.
More on this 👉https://sbee.link/3cy8vu7dbp

ADHD masking is when a person with ADHD acts in a “socially acceptable” way by mimicking others, suppressing impulses, or overcompensating to fit in. Learn how masking affects adults, females, school-aged children, and relationships and how it can lead to exhaustion, self-sabotage, and burnout. ...

Have you heard of DSM-5 ?
ADHD can affect how someone pays attention, stays organised, or manages their impulses. But getting a clear diagnosis isn’t always straightforward. Terms like “DSM-5” often come up, and it’s not always obvious how they apply, especially if you’re based in the UK.

Do you know how to spot Symptoms in Women?
ADHD is often associated with hyperactive boys who struggle to sit still in school – but that image doesn’t reflect how the condition shows up for everyone. For many women, ADHD can look very different. It’s often quieter, more internal, and much easier to miss.

How much do you know about Level 2 ?
Rather than assigning a numbered “level,” clinicians here tend to focus on the individual – their strengths, their challenges, and the specific support that could help them thrive. That said, many people still search for information using terms like “Level 2 autism,” so it’s useful to understand what it means and how it might apply to real-life experiences.

You may have come across the term Level 2 Autism while reading about autism or looking into a possible diagnosis. It’s a phrase often used in American resources, based on the DSM-5, to describe the level of support someone with autism might need. But in the UK, the way autism is understood and des...

OCD is often misunderstood. It’s more than just being neat or liking things a certain way. For many people, it involves distressing thoughts they can’t control and behaviours they feel they have to repeat to feel safe or “just right.” It can be exhausting, upsetting, and disruptive, especially when it starts to take over daily life.
The good news is that OCD is treatable, and one of the most effective approaches is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed, have lived with OCD for a long time, or are starting to recognise some of the signs in yourself or someone you care about, understanding how CBT works can be a reassuring step forward.
