Attorney Natalie Knochenhauer founded ADHD Aware in 2008. Her goal is to empower people with ADHD while raising awareness and changing public opinion about this serious disease.
"I have ADHD, and so do my four children. I've been amazed at how little people know about ADHD, so I decided to stand up and speak out about our experiences. Many people don't take ADHD seriously, and we need to change that" declares Knochenhauer. "We're building a worldwide community of empowered ADHD families to speak out and change the way the world views ADHD. Even if you have one hour to give, you can help us raise awareness".
