Bewerbungsgespräche mit Autismus ADHS AuDHS Was ist eigentlich das herausfordernde an Bewerbungsgesprächen? Für viele im neurodivergenten Spektrum ist es schon ein Erfolg, überhaupt eingeladen zu werden. Dein Bewerbungsanschreiben sollte „deine Handschrift“ tragen. Gehst du offen mit deiner Neurodivergenz um? Schreib das auch rein. Ja, in meinen Bewerbungsanschreiben steht drin, dass ich autistisch bin. Wenn du direkt und ohne Umschweife Sachverhalte formulierst, 1/x

1/8 The Role of Neurodivergent Individuals in Ancient Africa 🧵 For the past 3 years, I’ve been speaking with Fula, Mandinka, and Yoruba griots within my family and researching the role of autism, ADHD, & neurodivergence in West Africa; beyond Western labels/DSM. Neurodivergent individuals have played vital roles across societies, & ancient Africa was no exception. Many African traditions/spiritual practices honored unique minds, seeing them as integral to community life. Sharing a small part 👇🏾

Understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): A Common Experience for Neurodivergent Individuals Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a term often used to describe an intense emotional response to perceived or anticipated rejection. It's not officially recognised as a diagnosis, but it's a very real and challenging experience for many, particularly within the neurodivergent community. RSD can manifest in various ways, including: 1️⃣ Intense emotional pain: Feeling deeply hurt or wounded by even minor slights or criticisms. 2️⃣ Fear of rejection: Constantly worrying about being rejected by others, leading to avoidance behaviours. 3️⃣ People-pleasing: Trying to anticipate and meet everyone's needs to avoid rejection. 4️⃣ Emotional outbursts: Reacting strongly to perceived rejection, sometimes with anger or tears. 5️⃣ Rumination: Dwelling on past rejections and replaying them in your mind. For neurodivergent individuals, RSD can be exacerbated by: 1️⃣ Social communication challenges: Misinterpreting social cues or struggling with social interactions. 2️⃣ Sensory sensitivities: Feeling overwhelmed in social situations, leading to increased anxiety and vulnerability. 3️⃣ Past experiences of rejection: Previous negative experiences can create a heightened sensitivity to future rejections. Understanding RSD is crucial for building self-compassion and developing coping strategies. It's important to remember that: 1️⃣ Your feelings are valid: RSD is a real and understandable experience. 2️⃣ You are not alone: Many neurodivergent individuals experience RSD. 3️⃣ You can learn to manage it: Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and self-advocacy can be helpful. Here are some actionable steps you can take to cope with RSD: 1️⃣ Challenge Negative Thoughts: When you feel rejected, try to identify and challenge the negative thoughts that contribute to your distress. Are they based on facts or assumptions? 2️⃣ Reframe Rejection: Try to view perceived rejection as information, not a judgment of your worth. Sometimes, it's about the other person's limitations, not your flaws. 3️⃣ Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer a friend. Acknowledge your pain without judgment. 4️⃣ Communicate Your Needs: Let trusted friends, family, or colleagues know about your sensitivity to rejection. This can help them understand and support you. Let's talk openly about RSD to reduce stigma and build a more supportive community.

Patrick Casale| AuDHD TEDx Speaker| Therapist on Instagram: "I always say being AuDHD often feels like a never-ending tug-of-war… My Autistic side craves routine, predictability, and structure - I feel best when I know what to expect and can follow a plan. But then, my ADHD side kicks in, chasing novelty, spontaneity, and variety, making consistency feel nearly impossible. One moment, I’m hyper-focused and thriving on structure. The next, I’m craving something new and feeling restless in the routine I just set for myself. It’s like my brain is constantly pulling me in opposite directions. AuDHD folx, let me know if you can relate in the comments.

Annika | ADHD nutrition research specialist on Instagram: "Just because there isn't one genetic predisposition that every person with ADHD has doesn't mean that ADHD isn't mainly a genetic condition. 👇🧬 The evidence is pretty clear at this point with all the research we've done into ADHD! ADHD is highly heretible and diagnosis is not significantly influenced by our environment. That being said, our environment can definitely impact how we experience ADHD! #ADHD #adhdisgenetic #adhdawareness"

Autism and ADHD in the Era of Big Data; An Overview of Digital Resources for Patient, Genetic and Clinical Trials Information
Autism and ADHD in the Era of Big Data; An Overview of Digital Resources for Patient, Genetic and Clinical Trials Information
Even in the era of information “prosperity” in the form of databases and registries that compile a wealth of data, information about ASD and ADHD remains scattered and disconnected. These data systems are powerful tools that can inform decision-making and policy creation, as well as advancing and disseminating knowledge. Here, we review three types of data systems (patient registries, clinical trial registries and genetic databases) that are concerned with ASD or ADHD and discuss their features, advantages and limitations. We noticed the lack of ethnic diversity in the data, as the majority of their content is curated from European and (to a lesser extent) Asian populations. Acutely aware of this knowledge gap, we introduce here the framework of the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Database (NDDB). This registry was designed to serve as a model for the national repository for collecting data from Saudi Arabia on neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ASD and ADHD, across diverse domains.
