What are its symptoms and […]
Can a pupil with ADHD be assessed? How can I get support for my child? The administrative procedures involved in a child’s diagnosis can be overwhelming for many parents.

Hyperfixation is a phenomenon that is increasingly being discussed in the context of mental health and neurodiversity.
