What do @MadsTorgersen & I share (besides a love for curly braces)? Turns out, something that is a feature, not a bug. And it's called ...👉 #ADHD. In the pilot of #SharpAndUnfiltered, we talk the back and forth to clarity, symptoms, and superpowers. youtube.com/watch?v=bTsGKiuZ…

Given that it was @MadsTorgersen talking about his diagnosis publicly that pushed me over the edge to get tested, I kinda wanted to pass that on. Shout out to @danidonovan for comics that raised my suspicions and this video on when it's worth investigating youtu.be/lSjHYiTEA4M

Michael Newton@mavnn15 Oct 2022
Apparently it's adhd awareness month, and I recently got diagnosed with #adhd. So have a first new blog post for a while: "ADHD and me". In which my brain puts on trousers... blog.mavnn.co.uk/2022/10/14/…

This is heartbreaking. The trauma of unrecognized neurodiversity in childhood can be crushing.

The level trauma of being a neurodivergent person raised in an ableist world is absolutely underestimated. Many of the clients I encounter have levels of trauma that could qualify them for a diagnosis of PTSD. We need to reframe this completely. /1

So here it is! I sat down with Bryan to talk about my recent diagnosis with ADHD. He is a gentle, thoughtful interviewer, and it feels like a good way to share this new discovery of mine and the insights it's brought on for me.

I hope this is helpful to folks. Maybe you know someone or have an aha moment of your own. Mostly I hope being open about it in some small way helps normalize talking about neurodiversity.
