Warning! just found out this ai company is stealing my content to misrepresent me as a “customer testimonial” in embedded YouTube ads for their get-rich quick program I don’t endorse anything that gives negative value to our ADHD community. Do not give these thieves your $.

Let's talk about the first few days and weeks of life after labour with #ADHD (@HowToADHD is in it now!). You're getting less sleep, you got hormone soup, and a LOT of things to keep track of. What helped you during this period? What hindered?

I'm curious how the experience of labour and the transition to parenthood differs for those with #ADHD and those with #AuDHD. If you're AuDHD and you've given birth, what were the biggest things you struggled with that you felt were at the intersection of your neurodivergencies?

People always talk about needing a village to raise a child. Know what else needs a village?! Just. Living. Getting from point A to point A.5 We. All. Need. Support. Reaching out is NOT weak. -Dr. Jen

The paradigm of Internal Family System is liberating for me. For example, if I improve my sleeping habits then fall off the wagon. Instead of blaming myself, I can tend to the part of me that broke the habit with love and curiosity, and accommodate its needs. #ADHD

Reminder on this Valentine’s Day that our faults as ADHDers do not take away from the fact that we are loveable. #ADHD #ValentinesDay

At a restaurant we don't visit often. There's something that looks good, that I haven't had before. Then again... #samefood... #ActuallyAutistic

A parent messaged me today with the copy of a letter from their child's school. Any child who doesn't have all the right equipment on any day will get a demerit and an automatic hour long detention after school. How many adults would like that policy in their workplace? Would it help you to organise yourself? Or might it make you highly anxious?

“You can’t find love until you fully heal” Often, we heal slowly and steadily IN relationship through practice and communication and co-regulation WHILE each individual continues to do their own work of self-regulating, too. -Dr. Jen

a big part of figuring out your neurodivergence is simply learning to work with your brain rather than against it, and letting go of all of the ‘shoulds’ we’ve been told about how we ‘should’ behave, ‘should’ function, ‘should’ do things and ‘should’ feel.

Are you autistic and indecisive? Because... there's a correlation... and I feel like it needs to be talked about more.
