A Lynn mother has been inspired to put pen to paper in a bid to teach youngsters about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Nicola Poll has written her own book with the idea of educating young people in a fun way about the neurodevelopmental condition.

Nicola’s book, aimed at primary school-aged children, also has the aim of showing children that ADHD can be a superpower.

The first-time author was inspired to write her debut book after one of her four children was diagnosed with ADHD.

“I wanted children to understand more about ADHD. I hope they will learn from this,” Nicola said.

“The book is mainly rhyming, so it is easy for children to understand.”

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect a person’s attention span.

Nicola’s book, titled ‘Amazing Me and My ADHD’, is available to buy online for £7.99.

“Even though ADHD can bring us challenges, it can also bring us unique, amazing strengths which can enrich our lives for the better,” Nicola added.

“It provides children with a greater understanding of why they may feel like they do some days.
