The participants emphasized a need for more information about ADHD in transition phases and support, both from professionals and peers, about finding ways to live meaningful lives. The treatment they had been offered was particularly linked to symptom reduction and medication use. A more appropriate focus would have been linked to how they, as citizens, could gain knowledge and skills to live meaningful lives with ADHD.
