| Abstract | There is an extremely limited amount of research that looks at the identity development for adults with disabilities, particularly those who identify with a hidden diagnosis of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). More and more students with disabilities, such as ADHD, are entering college in the United States. It is increasingly important to understand the processes by which adults with ADHD develop psychosocially and develop a healthy identity around their diagnosis. Faculty and administrators in education can better understand how to assist this exceptional population in order to assist them in their development of a positive identity. This phenomenological study was focused on investigating the process of forging an ADHD identity. Other factors considered in the study were gender, race/ethnicity/culture, and sexual identity. The participants in this study were adults with ADHD recruited from a four-year private institution of higher education in the Western United States. Data were collected from in-depth interviews. Participants were of varied genders, race/ethnicity/culture, and sexual identities. Emergent textural descriptions including ADHD and disability identity development, demographic identification, ADHD affects and relationships, diagnosis and symptoms were associated with participants’ identity development. The findings from this study identify a unique model of identity development for adults living with ADHD. More research in the area of ADHD identity development was indicated. Suggestions for further research that focuses on the inclusion of this marginalized group in educational, medical, and mental health settings is examined. |
