ADDNet
ADDNet is the UK's national Web-site for Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder - AD/HD. The purpose of this Web Site, run for the benefit of the whole AD/HD community, is to be a common point of reference for information and intelligent debate on AD/HD in the UK and to provide a rapid means of communicating between the UK Support Groups and the UK AD/HD Community. It is, hopefully, of use to ADDers and their families (especially those new to AD/HD who may need guidance on who and where in their area to turn for help and/or information), as well as Health and Education Professionals and the Media (International visitors’ are welcome too).
