Mr. Ken Kilbride:

In terms of the narrative around ADHD, we talk a lot about the challenges but we also need to talk about the strengths that go with the condition. The creative industries in Ireland are fuelled by ADHD. Most people with entrepreneurial genes will have ADHD. Looking at Olympic gold medal winners, they over-index for ADHD. There are musicians, film actors, and other people like that. There are strengths that go with ADHD and when a person knows he or she has it and knows how to manage it, it can be a positive.
