ADHD is a struggle, but our alliance is our strength

As long as we're together, we will be strong

Are you someone with ADHD?

I am. My name is Josh. I’m 45 years old.

That’s where it all began.

Not with a team. Not with a roadmap.

Just a single person. Overwhelmed, misunderstood, and searching for something I couldn’t name.

I wasn’t a superhero. I wasn’t the “organized one.”

I was the kid who forgot his homework. The adult who missed meetings.

The person who spent years wondering, Why am I like this?

And then one day, I got my answer.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

But before that, there were 30 years without peace.

It brought labels. Lazy. Disorganized. Too much.

It brought moments of defeat, like sitting in silence while the world moved too fast, or too slow, for me to keep up.

It brought heartbreak. Watching relationships fray because my brain wouldn’t let me say the right thing, remember the right thing, be the right thing.

And yet... I didn’t stop.

Because buried beneath the chaos, there was a quiet voice that said, Keep going.

So I did.

And somewhere along the way, that voice turned into an idea.

What if no one had to go through this alone?

That idea became the ADHD International Alliance.

A space where we the misunderstood could finally see ourselves.

A place where ADHD wasn’t something to fix, but something to understand.

I poured everything into this.

Sleepless nights. Endless doubts. Tears no one saw.

But I kept going, because I believed in us.

In you.

And now, thousands of us, ADHDers from across the world, stand together because one person refused to give up.

I will never call myself a leader. I’ll tell you I’m just “another person trying to figure it all out.”

But we know better.

We know the reason we’re here.

The reason we feel less alone.

The reason we believe ADHD is not just struggle, but strength.

I took the initiative to start this alliance, true. But you give it life.

And as long as we’re here together, it will never stop growing.

Because I can’t never give up on myself. You can’t never give up on yourself.

And we’ll never give up on each other.💚
