ADHD New Zealand is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori with our favourite te reo word - "aroreretini".

Coined by Māori educator and linguist Keri Opai as a non-judgemental way of describing ADHD, it translates to "attention goes to many things".

Yay! I think it's in most libraries. Also an audio book that should still be on Libby if you're so inclined #ShamelessProductPlacement
