Hi Folks! A little about us: We are a group of Self-Advocates, parents, EA's, Psychologists who are taking action to push for change for folks with ADHD in BC. For too long, this diagnosis/disability has been ignored or worse: dismissed. It's time for that to change.

The #ADHD tax is the financial penalties those with ADHD get hit with for...well, for having ADHD. It's the extra money we end up spending on late fees, rush shipping fees, impulse buys, replacing lost things, even ADHD treatment itself. what have you paid the #ADHDtax on?

Cost taxpayers over $35,000...This is a colossal waste of money. Burnaby can no longer claim that they have no funds for kids w/disabilities if they waste that on trips to bring in other students - who are not disabled. I said what I said.
