October is International ADHD Awareness Month
ADHD Awareness Month, held every October, is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
At ADHD WA, we are committed to raising awareness about ADHD, reducing stigma surrounding the condition, providing accurate information, and fostering a supportive community for individuals with ADHD and their families.
ADHD WA invites you to join us this Awareness Month:
🍊 Wear #OrangeForADHD
Share a photo of you rocking orange for the day on social media.
Use hashtag #ADHDAwareness and #OrangeForADHD and tag ADHD WA and we will repost it on our socials.
FUN FACT! Orange is the colour for ADHD Awareness.
Orange combines red, the symbol of pure energy, with yellow, the symbol of happiness. Orange represents enthusiasm, happiness, creativity, and stimulation.

Social media can be a positive tool for spreading awareness and sharing your story. Consider using the hashtag #ADHDAwareness and #OrangeForADHD and tagging @ADHD_WA throughout the month.

Support us
ADHD WA is a not-for-profit organisation relying on grants and on donations of generous individuals.
If you’d like to help support our work in helping people living with ADHD in WA, we’d love to hear from you.
Having a group of local professionals and fellow brains who ‘get you’, and get what it’s like in this particular environment, is as much of a relief as the diagnosis itself.
