With the announcement of the reforms to how ADHD is diagnosed and supported in Victoria, we heard a lot of respectful debate. Unfortunately (in a continuing trend) some people in positions of power threw caution to the wind in how they spoke about ADHDers, apparently with little understanding of the impact on our community. Jessica Riordan, Sarah Timperley, Jess Rowlings and myself felt a responsibility to write about this impact so hopefully we can avoid this harm in the future: https://lnkd.in/gg8mG779 University of Melbourne | Faculty of Education | Melbourne Disability Institute | Australasian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA) | Reframing Autism | I CAN Network Ltd | Yellow Ladybugs | Orygen | Julia Claire
