Remember: Neurodivergent isn't shorthand for being ADHD and/or autistic. Neurodivergent is an umbrella term for anyone and everyone who has differences in their neurological structure or function. This includes mental health issues, brain injuries, and developmental conditions
The ADHD experience of being entirely and completely sure that you have more than enough time to do the thing... right up until panic sets in and you realize you most definitely do not
New academic years are filled with novelty: a major motivator for ADHD'ers. Novelty makes it easier to remember assignments, get started, and focus, but this novelty won't last forever. To manage as novelty fades, we must practice our other strategies too, before we need them
ADHD'ers struggle to regulate stimulation, where there's a mismatch in the amount of sensory, cognitive, or social stimulation we need and how much we have access to. This leads to periods of overstimulation or understimulation, which come with a host of negative consequences
Working memory is a major barrier for ADHD'ers. It's more prone to being erased, overwritten, or overwhelmed. Expecting ourselves to follow changing or complex instructions without support, especially in a chaotic or distracting environment, is a recipe for missing something
Being highly intelligent doesn't necessarily mean being better at emotional regulation. In fact, experiencing intellectual development early is actually associated with neurodivergent conditions that impact emotional regulation, including autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities
It's so important for researchers, professionals, and service providers to reflect on how they understand, design, discuss, and pursue their work with ADHD folks. Without deep, regular reflection, it can be super easy for harmful stereotypes and misconceptions to sneak in
There's no universal job that's the best or worst for people with ADHD, because there's no universal ADHD experience. Repetitive tasks, for example, can be extremely understimulating for some, but for others, these tasks might be soothing or even greatly rewarding
When the decisionmaking process goes awry, we can end up feeling paralyzed or unable to make a decision. Because decisionmaking involves so much executive functioning, this decision paralysis can happen a MUCH more often for people with ADHD
NTs often give ADHD'ers strategies that don't work because they aren't designed with our executive function barriers in mind. Writing it down isn't the barrier. Even with it written down, we still might have trouble finding it again, prioritizing, or getting started, for example
