Small talk and conversations can be really hard for autistic people.

Oh dang. When they say measurable goals, they really mean it. Something about this just clicked in my brain.

#ADHD Hack:
Transitions are a function of time and intention. The clearer our intention, the less time we need for transition.

"Check my email" isn't very clear. It will take more time to transition to.

"Reply to 12 emails" is clear. It will take less time to transition to.

My favorite thing is when I say "I'll do this at 9", and then it's 9:01, and clearly, I've missed my opportunity to start.

@KSwemba The "Chosen"/"House of Night" series was EPIC for me, actually read it with my Nana :)

For those of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades who understood that they're autistic later in life, did you find that the realization helped you get your life into a better spot? Or did it make things more complicated?

[Megan Buck @EmpowerCoachMeg]

@adhdasiangirl It hadn't occurred to me that going to an #ADHD Conference would be so validating just as a lived experience. I always look at them at professional learning opportunities... but this sounds like it did so much more.

Is your school looking to promote #executivefunction skills?
Is your staff hoping to build #executivefunctioning in their curriculum?
Could your school use resources to promote #universaldesign in supporting #neurodivergent learners?

Send me a message!

@adhdasiangirl Oh awesome! Have fun! Highly recommend following any presenters you like on their socials and connecting with them just in case you become overstimmed and can't make their sesh!

[Megan Buck @EmpowerCoachMeg]

Knowing how to support ALL learners.
Asking POWERFUL questions.

I'm passionate about supporting #ADHD and #ADD students, especially those who might not qualify for an #IEP or 504 in the general ed classroom...

#GenEd teachers, what supports could you use?

[Megan Buck @EmpowerCoachMeg]

What #ProfessionalDevelopment could your staff use to improve #ExecutiveFunction in the classroom?

How can I show you how to use Tech to solve this?

Friends, it's been a while since I've been here but I'm looking for resources and google is failing me... I'm looking at #resources to show racial bias in #ADHD #PDA and #ODD diagnoses... whatcha got?

Learn as much as you can about how your type presents. Knowledge is power, and acceptance is liberating :)

What would be your one piece of advice to a newly diagnosed Adhder? (Self diagnosed or professionally diagnosed.. both are valid)

[Megan Buck @EmpowerCoachMeg]

I don't know about you all... but the google interface update has me... buggin. #neurodivergent

Happy Neurodiversity Celebration Week!!

I wasn't sure if I should post this here as I wanted to be anonymous on this account, but I guess part of ND Celebration Week is sharing my story and I can't do that without coming out as ND.

So here you go. I made some ND stickers! 💖
