If you have ADHD kids, forget “hide and go seek.” Teach them games like “figure out where this goes and then keep it there!” 😆 MUCH more helpful life skill

Where did you first get the idea that the only acceptable version of yourself is one that involves essentially…not having #ADHD?
I’ll go first

🧵My best friend (Black woman) & I were pregnant at the same time 18 yrs ago. We both had preeclampsia, hers undiagnosed as her symptoms were written off. I was put on bed rest & hospitalized. She was told to relax. A week after she gave birth, the day my son was born, she died.
ALT ADHD advice. Instead of this, say this... Have you tried making lists? I'm sorry you're overwhelmed. 2. It's not that difficult. Is there anything I can do to help? 3. Everyone's a little ADHD. You're not alone. 4. Just try harder. Give yourself a break to avoid burnout. 5. ADHD doesn't exist. I'm misinformed, can you help me understand?
Deze week vier ik mijn 2e verlongdag lieve mensen. Wie had nou gedacht dat ik hier nog gewoon rond zou dartelen. Liefde voor mijn donor en zijn/haar nabestaanden. Ik zorg echt zo goed mogelijk voor dit grote cadeau.

October is also ADHD awareness month. So, let's talk about it...
I'm going to start with ADD, since I think a lot of people still think ADD is a diagnosis... \1
ADHDers often feel like we “should” be able to do something because ✨ we’ve done it before ✨ or that our difficulty with focus/productivity isn’t a real disability b/c sometimes we can do it just fine.
GUYS. LADIES. GENTLETHEMS.
THAT IS THE DISABILITY.
The INCONSISTENCY.
Not only is it possible to have ADHD even if you got good grades in school, but it's likely you’ll suffer longer without support or treatment because the people in your life assume that anyone who is smart can't suffer from ADHD.
heyyy so remember when I used to write strategies for coping with not coping and had that whole STUFF! up your life thing?? I'm not doing that anymore. You might have noticed.
Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better.
Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you 💙
"I really think that it's just flipping from using it as a place to talk to a place to listen first."
Is it possible to learn from other people via social media?

A common misperception about #psychologicalsafety is that it means lowering standards, giving up on #accountability, or "everyone being wrapped in cotton wool."
I love a good 2 x 2 matrix... so here's mine, brought to life by @tnvora, #sketchnote artist supreme.
The brilliant @tnvora has turned this list of "6 questions to ask before saying "yes" to the next task someone asks you to take on in" into a sketchnote. It's worth printing this out to reflect on in real time the next time someone asks you.
Our time & energy is finite. If we agree to undertake a certain task, it means that we have less time & energy for other tasks, that may be more important to us or achieve more in the longer term. Every time we are asked to take on a new task, we should ask ourselves 6 questions.
