I’m a doctor with ADHD and this is where we’re going wrong
“Do you have time to listen to a poem?” Dr James Kustow, a leading psychiatrist and specialist in ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), asked on our first introduction. “Erm, yes of course,” I answered, perplexed as to what poetry has to do with the theme of his new book, How to Thrive with Adult ADHD. The poem is titled Systemic Toxicit...
ADHD & Executive Function
Women in relationships with men diagnosed with ADHD experience higher levels of depression and a lower quality of life. Furthermore, those whose partners consistently took ADHD medication reported a higher quality of life than those whose partners were inconsistent with treatment. : r/science
The risk of developing ADHD was 3 times higher among children whose mothers used the pain-relief drug acetaminophen (paracetamol) during pregnancy. The association was stronger among daughters, with the daughters of acetaminophen-exposed mothers showing a 6.16 times higher likelihood of ADHD. : r/science
Reframing DSM Autism Criteria — Matt Lowry, LPP
I do psychological evaluations, consults, and therapy with autistic people, because I'm autistic, myself. I thought it might be an idea to discuss further how the DSM criteria differs from the autistic experience. The DSM is problematic in that it's ableist, and vaguely describes autistic traits.

Why we can't focus.
Ive been mostly a long form reader and writer my whole life and only very recently more active on YouTube... and I have seen an *immediate negative change in my attention span as a result. And because of this dopamine addicted era I've never been really able to gain a footing since I mostly read (post) and write things that take time. Which... no one, myself included, has anymore.

Recognition of the disorder actually goes back farther than you might think - the observation that…
Neurodivergence and Normality: The Need to Challenge Fraught Terminology - ZNetwork
Ever since I have come to understand I am neurodivergent, more of the world has opened up to me. I now understand why I found certain environments so
The term neurotypical is frequently used to describe the other. The term provides a target with which to level criticism against. This is not dissimilar to homophobe or racist or misogynist. When seeking measures of equality and acceptance, it is crucial to have a label for people that are the problem. Names for the oppressor help to ease cohesion, prevent in-fighting, build enthusiasm, and drive momentum forward, picking up social and political capital. These are all good things and would not be necessary if everyone was receiving the respect and understanding they deserve.
The downside is that the other is caricatured and subject to picking up as many stereotypes as the person seeking equality. Perhaps even without intention, an us-vs-them mentality is established, which questions the likelihood of future integration. Unlike white on black racism, neurotypicals are not actively seeking to oppress the neurodivergent; the major problems appear to be ignorance and stigmas and an unwillingness to change the status quo. Neurotypicals, for the most part, do not identify as neurotypical, which undermines the movement because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, neurotypicals do not exist.
At some point, all activism must lead to a pragmatic assimilation into the status quo. In order for this to happen an unambiguous and broadly accepted terminology must be present. Autism, ADHD, and other personalities need to be seen as normal and human, and thus inclusion is necessary and obvious.
During the diagnosis, the person is deemed to be in need of care, after all, they are now the patient. But even after many years of good therapeutic habits, the person is still considered to be in need of care and liable to others – a liability.
A diagnosis also implies a deviation from healthy or normal and will become a defining feature of the medical record, which will always make other people question if the person is healthy or normal in the present. A mental health diagnosis can become a sinister stigmata, because there will always be doubt over whether the person is normal or healthy – in some cases preventing relationships before they can even start.
In a world of traits and spectrums, it is likely that many allists will also share autistic traits, such as being comfortable with routine, or a level of fatigue when it comes to prolonged eye contact, or having a somewhat obsessive private interest (in allistic speak, these would be hobbies and pastimes).

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Misconceptions
I recently saw a video that touched on pathological demand avoidance, also commonly referred to as PDA. Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is a pattern of behavior in which we go to extremes to ignore or avoid anything they perceive as a demand. Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is most often seen in people with autism, but certain traits also have been seen with people with ADHD and other sensory processing disorders. In this video I will talk about what PDA is, why it's often searched with ADHD and autism, strategies that can help those with pathological demand avoidance, and what it's like living with PDA. Do you or someone you know live with PDA? Share about your experience in the comments.
Here are some signs you might have PDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uq1n8UQ3hc
