I pretty much try to use this approach whenever I can and it helps SO much.

ps where can I find a therapist like this rather than ones who think they're gonna mental fitness me into having reliable routines lmao
P.s.s by "this approach" I mean the principle behind the tik tok re working with your brain rather than forcing things.

I am tired of seeing people (esp rich white cis men) pitch ADHD as a gift/superpower, when there are so many other variables at play that enable them to embrace and be celebrated for the strengths of ADHD. It's so disingenuous.
I'm still critical of framing ADHD as a curse to be cured, but claiming it's a superpower is not an alternative I support. It implies people's experiences of ADHD are totally within their control, and that they're individually to blame if they're not thriving with their "gift".
In reality, the extent to which your external context accommodates and accepts you will deeply impact your experience of ADHD. Money = better access to accommodations. And whiteness= greater acceptance for neurodivergent behavior.

I could literally proofread something 10 times, and I'd still make a mistake somewhere. I know this bc I often DO proofread things 10 times, to no avail. It's crushing when people interpret this as carelessness, because I am SO careful. It doesn't make a difference.
I often think, "do the people who see my work as messy or rushed, ever notice how painstakingly slowly and carefully I do everything?". I might be the only person in the world who knows how careful and intentional I actually try to be each day.
Usually at work I'm doing things that have a built-in peer review and proof reading process. ATM I'm doing stuff that doesn't have that, and working harder than ever only to have everything be riddled with more mistakes. It's heartbreaking.

From now on I'm going to be proactively blocking people who follow me and then get aggressive with the people I retweet. These are real people, and often people I really respect and/or have friendships with. It feels really gross to know I'm risking them being harassed.
This seems to be a really fucking problem in the ND community on here recently, and I'm over it. Being neurodivergent doesn't mean that you get to define and break boudaries, or that you're entitled to treat people like shit. Of course there should be consequences for that.
I want to be able to retweet stuff from NZ twitter, as well as other smaller ND accounts without people jumping onto it and getting belligerent. This sucks, because retweeting is one of the ways I show support, but I don't know if it's safe for me to do so now.

Perhaps my least favourite quality in a person is when they relentlessly pursue a positive outlook on everything. I’m relatively reflective I think, and I like learning and growing, but not every experience is good or useful. It’s okay to call a spade a spade.
Idk, I guess I just don’t see critical as being the same thing as negative, and it annoys me when people hear me thinking through something in a critical way, and assume that I’m being pessimistic, or that I haven’t seen the “good” in it.
It just feels patronising tbh. I’m self-aware enough to determine whether something is harmful or helpful for me, and deserve to act accordingly.

If people knew what ADHD actually was, I would disclose it all the time. What's difficult to navigate (esp in professional spaces) is working out what assumptions people already hold about it and will project onto you.
I talk about ADHD at work now, mostly bc a lot of people told me their own suspicions about being neurodivergent after I privately shared with them, and I feel like being visible is a way I can tangible help them. I do well enough at work that there isn't too much risk for me.
But, I'm also always wondering "what does this person think ADHD is, and how do those beliefs shape how they see me?". Do they notice my small mistakes more now? Do they think I'm lying because I'm not stereotypically hyperactive?

Unlearn the idea that oppressed people standing up for their rights or addressing how you are hurting them is a personal attack. It's bigger than you.
I get it, it sucks to feel like you've been misunderstood, or like you've fucked up. But it's not about you. I literally repeat that to myself over and over when I cause hurt, and it helps me remember that I can choose btwn being defensive or learning and growing and restoring.
The world is racist and ableist and homophobic and sexist and classist and transphobic and oppressive in so many ways that OF COURSE you are going to hold some behaviours and beliefs that are harmful. People pointing out where these manifest helps you be better.
