A 🧵 for #ADHDAwarenessMonth 👇 Before I was aware of my ADHD I felt like I was failing at life. I felt lost and broken. I could come up with award-winning ideas for work but struggled with day-to-day tasks that others found easy.

My biggest weakness is forgetting the context when listening to the details - in conversation, listening to a narrative or watching a film - reading is my preferred way to learn, and writing to communicate but its tiring sometimes. #Autistic #auditoryprocessing #verbalreasoning

Neurodiversity. Belonging. Wellbeing. Rethinking “normal.” New Substack is live — finally tackling all the thoughts I’ve been sitting on for too long. Join me:

Following a mediation session with the LA this morning, my daughter is now getting an EHCP needs assessment! 🙏#SEN #EHCP

My taste sensitive daughter can tell the difference between Tescos and Sainsbury’s cucumbers, can anyone else do this? Is it a thing?

Being able to mindfully let go is the ultimate level of control 🙏😅

UAL I meant- London College of Communication

To all the people without A levels. I didn’t get any either. I dropped out of college (long story) Then when I got sick of office temping went back to do a Btec at Art School, then went onto ULA and got a 2:1 in my Graphic Design BA. Just saying 🙌 #ALevelResults #AuDHD

I am much more commenting on random peoples posts on LinkedIn than I am doing my very important to do list 🙈

J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have both been named in a criminal complaint filed to French authorities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment” against Algerian boxer and newly crowned Olympic champion Imane Khelif. https://t.co/756DIcwZzV

Organising events is the most stressful thing ever. Especially when its all up in the air. Why do I do this to myself?! Because I care about making change, but also it hurts 😭 #AuDHD #TheFutureisND

Ranting is not the same on here since all the BS. But where can I rant now? I’m too scared to do it on LinkedIn 😭

Ugh!! I just missed a meeting because I was completely engrossed in my taxes 😩 #hyperfocus #AuDHD

That awkward moment when the world realised that the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is a biological female who made the Italian Boxer Angela Carini give up within 46 secs. IOC spokesperson Mark Adams saying she was “born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female,

What can we learn from the #ImaneKhelif case? 1. The gender binary is inherently unstable. 2. Human bodies are extremely diverse. 3. Black/brown athletes face immense racism. 4. Transphobia has reached absurd heights. 5. Many hearts will bleed for a crying white woman.

Haven’t been on here for ages, now I can’t stop. Its good to rant again 🤪🤣

An encouraging twist in the mess that is the USA @KamalaHarris 🙏

I’ve written A LOT of emails lately. Emails to fight for my daughter to have an inclusive education, emails to negotiate with sponsors for @thefutureisnd events, email to explain to @EveryoneActive that unwritten rules don’t work for all. Emails are exhausting. I’m done 😓

seating areas, clearer signage and help to use exercise machines. In this case clear instructions to understand how the equipment is to be used fairly and reasonably- to avoid future misunderstandings and intimidation

I checked the website and nothing on your walls. Under the Equality Act, gyms, leisure and sports centres must make reasonable adjustments for disabled visitors and members. This can include modifying premises, changes to layout, installing accessibility equipment, providing…

Had a horrible experience in a @EveryoneActive gym today when ‘one of the regulars’ tried to intimidate me off a machine and ‘jump in’ on my 30 sec rest. Then a PT I thought was supporting me lectured me on ‘Gym Etiquette’. Where are these unwritten rules @EveryoneActive?
