Empowering ADHDers and their Families to Live Life to the Fullest

ADHD Awareness Month 2025

"Differently Wired Minds is more than a book — it is a collective voice of the ADHD community in Singapore.

By sharing struggles, strengths, and strategies, we hope to inspire greater empathy and understanding. As a fundraising effort, it also helps us continue the important work of supporting ADHDers and their families.”

Unlocking ADHD is a registered charity and social service agency in Singapore that started with a mission to Empower ADHDers and their Families to Live Life to the Fullest.

We provide practical resources and support to those who are living with ADHD in Singapore to help them identify their strengths and unlock their full potential. Most importantly, we want to bring hope to the ADHD community and provide safe and supportive space for ADHDers and their families to thrive.

Blueprint for Empowerment

Can I get a diagnosis without an assessment?

To get a diagnosis, one has to be assessed by a psychiatrist or psychologist in a clinical setting.

However, if you have reservations about taking the plunge, you can start with a simple online non-diagnostic self-test.

Please note that it not definitive and you would still need to see a mental health professional for a formal diagnosis.
