🚨 The SEND & ADHD Crisis in UK Schools 🚨

Right now across the UK, thousands of children with ADHD and SEND are being misunderstood, punished, or left waiting years for support that could change their lives.

Parents are exhausted.
Teachers are overwhelmed.
Children are being labelled “naughty” instead of understood.

This is why I’ve launched a petition to push for mandatory ADHD & SEND awareness in UK schools.

Not optional.
Not a token lesson.
Real understanding and training.

Through my voluntary You, Me & ADHD talks I’ve seen first-hand what happens when young people finally feel understood, confidence grows, behaviour improves, and they realise they’re not broken.

But we need systemic change.

Neurodivergent children aren’t the problem. A system that doesn’t understand them is.

They said I was too much. Too loud. Too distracted.

What they didn’t realise was that the very thing they saw as a limitation would become my greatest strength.

Never let a label decide your future.

Your story is written by your actions, not by a diagnosis. 👊🏼

Today in Falkirk, Scotland, I delivered one of the most powerful You, Me & ADHD talks yet with parents and carers from local schools at a very needed time. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We spoke about the real side of ADHD that too many people still misunderstand, masking, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, struggling to concentrate, feeling “too much” or never enough, and children being punished for behaviours linked to unmet needs rather than properly supported. 😩🧠🎗️

This is the reality behind the SEND crisis.

While parts of society continue to glamorise and romanticise ADHD online, families are fighting battles every single day just to get their children heard, understood and supported.

Today was emotional, honest and raw.
No scripts. No PR. Just real people sharing real experiences and engaging in real authentic conversations that are making huge changes and having huge impacts on how we perceive this.

That’s why YOU, ME & ADHD exists.
The real voice of the people. If you would like more information or would like to bring YOU, ME & ADHD to your school, college, community group, organisation or event, please get in touch.

Together we can create real conversations, real understanding and real change for children, families and educators.

Today was honestly one of the most powerful and emotional days I’ve had in a long time. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎗️🧠

Day one of my Scotland You, Me & ADHD Tour with Bankier FamilySupp saw me deliver 4 talks across multiple year groups, followed by a special after school training session for teachers and staff around ADHD, Tourette’s, neurodiversity, mental health, RSD, emotional regulation, self awareness and understanding the signs and symptoms in both others and ourselves.

What truly shocked me was how many young people already have diagnoses or take medication for neurodiverse conditions, yet when asked what ADHD, autism, Tourette’s or anxiety actually means for THEM personally, many simply didn’t know or understand it fully.

That right there is why these conversations matter.

Not for trends.
Not for social media.
Not for labels.

For understanding.
For acceptance.
For saving young people from growing up feeling broken, misunderstood or alone.

Today I watched young people begin understanding themselves and each other on a completely different level. Some opened up for the very first time. Some finally felt heard. Some realised they are not “weird” or “too much” after all.

The impact these conversations are having is honestly enormous and deeply emotional to witness.

Back tomorrow for more sessions plus a parents and carers talk 🙌

A huge part of this project still remains voluntary, community-led and self-funded wherever possible because these conversations genuinely matter.
