Transform your life with D R Downes Consulting

Celebrate the upside of ADHD

A huge welcome from us at D R Downes Consulting.  A consultancy specialising in pre-screening assessments and coaching for the complex neurological condition known as Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).  


We fully appreciate and understand the challenges people have with ADHD or characteristic traits of ADHD like symptoms. Sometimes having a disorder like ADHD can leave you feeling alone and like an outsider. Trying to explain what it’s like to another person, and have them walk in your shoes for a day, is virtually impossible, but diagnosis of ADHD doesn’t have to put a you at a disadvantage in life.


Ever been stuck in a boring conversation? Well, that will never happen if you chat with someone who has ADHD their superb conversationalist.  So yes, you might have to work harder than others, especially if you have a memory of a goldfish — but you can still achieve and be successful!


If you've been diagnosed or have characteristics traits of ADHD, you probably have a bundle of energy in abundance, and known for being the fun factor character to be around. You think differently to others, but that’s actually a good thing! It means you’re more dynamic and your ideas are outside the box.


Start your journey today! Embrace your uniqueness and celebrate those personal strengths that can make having the condition or character traits an advantage, not a drawback.

Child vs Adult

What's the difference of child vs adult ADHD

While a diagnosis of childhood ADHD is more common in boys than girls, adult ADHD has a more even 1 to 1 ratio for men and women.


This might be because girls are less likely to have hyperactivity symptoms than boys with ADHD but more inattentive symptoms that aren’t as disruptive. As it interferes with adult goals, a young or mature woman may seek a diagnosis as an adult.

Recognising adult ADHD symptoms

Adult ADHD symptoms


Adults may also have more inattentive symptoms like forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating, while children with ADHD have more hyperactive symptoms.


If you had milder ADHD symptoms during childhood and were not diagnosed, the demands and responsibilities of adult life may intensify your symptoms.


Some symptoms from childhood ADHD can also change in adults. For example, hyperactivity may look like restlessness or getting bored easily and taking unnecessary risks as an adult.

At a glance

Different presentations

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder marked by inattentive and/or hyper-impulsive behaviours that can impact development and functioning. Sometimes referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).


Usually, when people think of ADHD, their first thoughts conjure up a picture of a hyperactive, louder-than-life child who bounces off the walls with energy – but this isn’t always the case. Yes, it goes without saying some people with ADHD do display the common symptom of hyperactivity.  The hint is in the name, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but not everyone with the condition will experience this symptom.


3 presentations of ADHD:


Predominantly hyper-impulsive. People with this type mainly show behaviors associated with hyperactivity and impulsiveness. This is the textbook stereotype we mentioned earlier.


Predominantly inattentive. People with this type of ADHD mainly show behaviors associated with inattention, but do not display hyperactivity. Those who are predominantly inattentive can often go unnoticed, as their symptoms aren’t as obvious, but their short attention span can cause a lot of difficulties. This type is usually differentiated with the name Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).


Combined. Some people may have a combination of the above traits, showing both a mix of inattentive and hyper-impulsive symptoms.


So when it comes to ADHD, not everyone will have the same subtype and within each category, there is a range of symptoms that a person with ADHD could display.


ADHD in adult life

  • difficulty paying attention to details
  • easily distracted
  • forgetting to pay bills on time
  • forgetting or being late to appointments and meetings
  • excessive daytime sleepiness
  •  careless mistakes at work
  • difficulty staying focused during long lectures or meetings
  • difficulty following through with tasks that have several steps
  • difficulty keeping organized or tidy
  • poor time management
  • avoiding tasks that require a lot of mental effort
  • losing or misplacing important things like your keys, wallet, or phone
  • forgetting things that may be important to your loved ones like an anniversary
