About This Kit
This petition media kit was created by an individual — a late-diagnosed adult with ADHD and parent — to support the call for a public inquiry into systemic harm to people with ADHD in Aotearoa.
It’s not exhaustive, and it doesn’t claim to speak for everyone. But it offers a clear starting point for conversation, reporting, and action.
This is a grassroots, non-partisan effort. Its goal is to open space, not to own it.
National and Global Evidence Summary
A plain-English overview of why a public inquiry into systemic harm is urgently needed — backed by key data from Aotearoa and beyond. Includes national and international statistics, with references to source material.
Compiled independently to support awareness and advocacy. Not exhaustive.
Coming soon: a detailed reference pack with additional research, equity data, and sector-specific evidence.
