Geographic gaps¶
Targeted web searches repeated on 2026-08-30 corrected the earlier Asia/Latin America gap by locating and fetching qualifying bodies in Taiwan and Peru. The same search did not yield a clearly patient-led national ADHD organization in Africa with an accessible official site; that dated result describes search coverage, not absence of advocacy or organizations.
