Welcome to this three part series on ‘Invisible disabilities and politics’, based on my experiences as an adult with ADHD in Colombo, Sri Lanka. As most of my writing goes, it’s partly me trying to pull together my thoughts into a coherent whole. Even more, I hope it helps build an understanding among readers about certain aspects of mental health and enters the political discourses in and outside Sri Lanka.

1. What is it like to have ADHD?

2. How ADHD is explained (and why it matters)

3. The political is personal (- or how organizing could help heal)
