Whether you are sitting on a waiting list for assessment, or have received an official diagnosis, Choosing Change programs have been designed to help you move forward to your best ADHD life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be difficult \u2013 and disheartening! \u2013 to try to translate what an ADHD diagnosis means for yourself, or your child. It can feel like you\u2019ve been given a list of things that are wrong with you, or your kid, without a lot of guidance about where to turn next. Choosing Change programs are designed to answer the \u201cwhat next?\u201d question, and help you write the operating manual for *your* ADHD brain or your ADHD family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing Change takes a different approach to how we talk about ADHD, and the expectations we hold for you as an adult or parent of a child with ADHD. We can say, hand on heart, that we get it. Because we are ADHDers too. We make the new-to-ADHD-diagnosis learning journey human, because we are ADHD humans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing Change aims to instill acceptance, hope and humanity into the way we as a community speak about ADHD and neurodivergence. The way we think about ourselves as adults with ADHD. The way we think about and speak to our ADHD kids. This is what we mean we we say we are neurodiversity affirming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.choosingchange.com.au\/index.php\/49-2\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Our Story&#8221;
