Awareness Resources
Knowledge and awareness can change — and save — lives. These resources have been lovingly created by Carmen to help parents, teachers, young people and families understand conditions such as ADHD, and the devastating outcomes that can follow when they go unrecognised.

Understanding ADHD
A Guide for Parents & Teachers
A comprehensive overview of ADHD as a neurological condition — covering core symptoms, signs often missed in girls and women, and practical supporting tips for parents and educators.
ADHD Isn't One Condition
Understanding Unique Needs
Research highlights three distinct ADHD biotypes with different brain profiles and symptom severities. Understanding this helps ensure each person receives the right support.
Girls & ADHD
Recognising the Hidden Signs
ADHD in girls is frequently missed. This sheet explains masking, perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, and why late diagnosis is so common — and so damaging.
The Emotional Side of ADHD
Understanding the Emotional World of ADHD
People with ADHD often feel emotions more intensely. This sheet explores emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, rapid mood shifts, and the deep empathy that can accompany ADHD.
Understanding Some Hidden Parts of ADHD
Normalising experiences with compassion and awareness
A compassionate look at the less-visible aspects of ADHD — impulsivity, perfectionism, social isolation, fear of abandonment, and fearlessness — with a message of hope.
Understanding ADHD
The Hidden Impact Behind a Small Word
Explores the often-missed reality of ADHD: emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity (RSD), executive dysfunction, and masking — with a reminder that early awareness reduces suffering.
