ADHD: Coping with an Invisible Disability
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is an invisible disability, meaning that they often go unnoticed by others. This can lead to misunderstanding, judgment, and internal struggles for those who live with them. For many in the neurodivergent community, navigating the challenges of an invisible disability can feel particularly isolating, given cultural stigmas around mental health and disability. If you live with an invisible disability, what can you do?
Advocating for Your ADHD
Living with ADHD can be challenging, and you may have learned through the years how to adapt yourself to meet the expectations of others and society. But instead of changing yourself, advocating for yourself instead is one of the most empowering steps you can take.
Is it ADHD or Trauma? It’s Probably Both
Living with ADHD is trying to survive in a world that wasn’t made for you. Unfortunately, some of us may not only have ADHD but also Trauma as well and not even know it. ADHD and Trauma symptoms can be so interwoven, it can be easy to miss the role of Trauma in understanding our bodies and systems.
Supporting a Neurodivergent Partner
Navigating relationships can be challenging, but when one partner is neurodivergent, it can introduce unique dynamics that require understanding, patience, and tailored support.
