“It’s when these clients finally receive their diagnosis that the real journey begins – and a pattern emerges. I call it the five phases of ADHD realization.“
Additionally, many recently diagnosed individuals choose to keep the diagnosis to themselves. They avoid the topic, fearing that others in their circle who do not accept or believe the diagnosis will judge and criticize them.Phase Two: Investigation.
I realize how daunting that might sound, but that’s the harsh reality of the condition. ADHD is hereditary and, especially if left untreated, pervasively invades just about every aspect of a person’s life. Once they eventually find themselves on a path to awareness and management, they enter the next phase.This phase is the most difficult to recognize. It is also the final destination for most individuals with ADHD post-diagnosis.
This is commonly where growth and progress stop for most of my clients. Some of them, however, want to do more, and find themselves becoming advocates. They speak out in defense and in hopes of educating others about ADHD. They look to motivate and inspire others with ADHD to better understand themselves. These are the ones who find themselves in the next stage.. Individuals in this stage view ADHD as a condition that can help them, instead of a hindrance that must be endured.
