ADHD UK AmbassadorOaf Idan

Hi, I’m OAFIDAN (Oaf) — a Twitch Partner, content creator, web & graphic designer and ADHD ambassador.

I started streaming three years ago, and since then I’ve been lucky enough to grow a supportive community and raise over £13,000 for various charities through charity streams and events. Streaming has become more than just a hobby for me — it’s a platform where I can make a difference while doing what I love.

In June 2025, I was officially diagnosed with ADHD after years of challenges both at work and at home. For a long time, I struggled with focus, distractions, and the overwhelming frustration of losing my train of thought. What I was told was “laziness” growing up was really ADHD making it difficult for me to retain information and complete tasks. After a long and stressful wait for NHS assessments, I eventually sought a private diagnosis. Getting clarity (and the right treatment) has been life-changing — not just for me, but also for my family.

Now, with the right support, I’m thriving. I run my own web & graphic design business, stream on Twitch five nights a week, and work as a talent manager for an influencer agency. ADHD medication isn’t perfect — the emotional comedown can be tough — but the focus and productivity it gives me has helped me achieve so much more than I thought possible.

I became an ADHD ambassador because I want to use my platform to share my journey, raise awareness, and support others who may be struggling. Within my first week as an ambassador, I raised £1,000 for charity, and I’m excited to keep running more events and having open, honest conversations about ADHD.

Streaming, design, management, advocacy — it’s a lot to juggle, but thanks to the right tools and an amazing community, I’m finally able to turn what once felt like obstacles into opportunities.
