After Amanda Fok Choi-ling was told, at the age of 35, she had ADHD, the first doctor she saw about her condition was a child psychiatrist.
“When I was diagnosed in 2008, there were no support systems for adults with ADHD,” the Hongkonger recalls.
A professional emcee, Fok founded Let’s Talk ADHD, a social enterprise that raises awareness of the disorder and starts conversations to spread the word that it affects children and adults alike. She launched Hong Kong’s first ADHD Awareness Week in 2020.
