Sarah Brown

I'm Sarah. I am really excited to become an ADHD UK Ambassador as I feel I have a lot to give to a cause that is close to my heart.

I was diagnosed at the age of 37 with ADHD combined with Autism. This was not a surprise as I always felt like I didn’t fit in with society. I would get frustrated that I couldn’t do simple tasks unless it was last minute. I would often find myself bored alot and would often entertain myself at school becoming the class clown.

I would find it hard to stick to topic unless I found it interesting then I would hyper focus on it and spend all my time with it. Topic’s I was interested in would change frequently and I found it hard to finish projects that I had started.

With all the frustration that I had experienced in life I learnt how to channel my energy into creative Art. I became a singer songwriter, a poet and an author. I would learn new skills all the time but then my attention would always jump to a new idea.

I have always found it difficult to be organised and find myself getting overwhelmed by the normal day to day living. I would procrastinate on things that needed to be done and wouldn’t be able to gain the motivation to complete them. So when I got my diagnosis it was a relief, I didn’t feel lazy anymore. I would find new techniques to manage life.

The main reason I became an Ambassador was because I dont want people walking my path. I want my difficulty’s and accomplishments to mean something. Having ADHD is not all bad you just have to live a little different to everyone else. You need to find your passion and express yourself. Turn your weakness into a strength.
