First of all, I am going to be looking at ADHD and mental health. Most people will know already but most may not, let me say what ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD in my view is a learning disability and mental illness all in one, which can affect most parts of a person’s life.

Next is Autism and mental health

Autism is a long-life development disability, which affects peoples’ communication and understanding to the world around them. For example, going to a very busy place faces millions of people. National Autistic Society (autism.org.uk)  Autism and mental health - Mind

Autism is a way of reacting to the world around us, where we can struggle with how we get along with people mainly with people we don’t know. Socially we may work out how we may appear to people, those who may not know us may take a while to get to know us. We are all human, and not everything is down to Autism, but Autism does play a big part in what we may seem, do and or say without being aware or understanding what and how most things about us may seem to others. Search engines; For example, social interaction, social communication, social Anxiety, and Autism. This is where many people with Autism struggle to make friends, get along with people, etc.
