Name
ADHD & Bullying: Stories of Struggle, Strength, & Solutions
Description
With nearly 30 years of lived experience as a bullying survivor and two decades of professional work supporting individuals with ADHD, this session offers both personal depth and expert insight.
ADHD traits such as impulsivity, emotional sensitivity, and social challenges can make individuals more likely to be bullied—and in some cases, to engage in bullying behavior. This panel discussion brings together adults with ADHD who have experienced bullying in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Each will share their journey, their restorative work, and the tools that helped them build confidence and resilience.
The session will also include an overview of current research on the impact of bullying on those with ADHD, with emphasis on emotional outcomes like anxiety, depression, and isolation. Attendees will be invited to ask questions, share insights, and connect with others through open dialogue.
Whether you're an educator, parent, professional, or individual with ADHD, this interactive forum will offer valuable perspectives and strategies to reduce harm, promote healing, and create more understanding and inclusive environments for people with ADHD.
