Anxiety and neurodiversity often go hand in hand. It's not surprising to feel like you don't belong or that something is wrong after a lifetime of doubt. It’s not ‘cause you don’t see that we don’t have it—that goes for both anxiety and neurodiversity. #Neurodiversity #Anxiety

@BytesDyslexia Sweet! Thanks for sharing!! I just added you to instagram and linkedIn 🙌

Reading and writing can be challenging for some of us, and it made me nervous when asked to do so. But I feel more confident in these abilities thanks to Siri and Grammarly. Giving me more agency and flexibility. #Dyslexia #DisabilityAwareness #AssistiveTechnology #Agency

The expectation that hard work can't be enjoyable is BS. We can find meaningful work that pays well and makes us happy. #DisabityWorker #Enjoyable #Meaningful

Being a candid dyslexic is a journey of self-discovery. It's about embracing who we are and all the quirks (and quacks 🦆) that come with it. #Dyslexia #Neurodiversity #EmbraceTheQuirksAndQuacks

[Mikaÿla Perrier @LostInSemantic]

Experience is everything, and the experiencer is always right in their experience. As dyslexics, we have a lifetime of it to draw from. Speak up about your experience as a dyslexic adult. #Dyslexia #Neurodiversity #Experience

@ADHDdesigner Accept the feeling, not its reasoning. It’s normal to want to do good — we care about many things we do! But we can use our reasoning skill to discern what we’ve accomplished, and plan how will start again, tomorrow or later in the day.

Stop. Breathe. Reflect.

Don't let cultural expectations dictate your work experience. It's tough out there, but misery shouldn't be the norm. #WorkLifeBalance #CultureChange #MentalHealthMatters

@adhd_ffs That was me yesterday. Luckily my washer & dryer ain’t going anywhere; neither am I!

[Mikaÿla Perrier @LostInSemantic]

Living with dyslexia and ADHD is a rollercoaster of creative enthusiasm and mysterious bursts of energy. Here's to embracing all the quirks (and quacks 🦆) that make us who we are! #Neurodiversity  #EmbraceTheQuirksAndQuacks #Dyslexia #ADHD

Moving to a new city can be overwhelming, especially for those with Dyslexia and ADHD. So how am I gonna make it out to a new city? By breaking down my goals into daily actionable items to stay on track. Small steps lead to big achievements! #MontrealHereICome #Neurodiversity

@annaecook @stubbornella Dr Walker does an amazing job distilling research in Why We Sleep! If you are into studying chronotypes I would recommend “The Power of When,” written by a clinical psychologist rather than neuroscientist. Great as an accessibility design framework IMO

Dyslexia differs in adulthood as we learn to compensate for our challenges. Still, we end up understanding things vastly different than others. To me, that is a fundamental core aspect of our creative thinking! #Dyslexia #Neurodiversity #SelfDiscovery #Creativity

[Mikaÿla Perrier @LostInSemantic]

Dyslexia affects all parts of our lives, not just reading and writing. It's hard enough to be an adult and that much harder when you're neurodivergent. BE KIND TO YOURSELF, today AND tomorrow! #Dyslexia #Neurodiversity #MentalHealthAwareness

@HealingMindsTW It’s only masking if we choose to keep the mask on 🎭. Let’s show one another that it is possible to live without the fear of truly being ourselves. That applies to in school, at work, and everywhere!

[Mikaÿla Perrier @LostInSemantic]

@ruiyichin Yes. With a little bit of grit along with that computer, wouldn’t you agree?

[Mikaÿla Perrier @LostInSemantic]

Mornings are a great reminder of how lucky we are to be here. I mean, for many, the morning never came... So, pause the scrolling here and take a deep breath — count your blessings & take account of gratitude for what you have!

Did you know that dyslexia is only a reading disorder for eye reading, NOT for ear reading? We can listen to text read at 2x speed & up. So tell me again, non-dyslexic Twitter, how fast do you read with your eyes? #Dyslexia #Neurodiversity #AudioReading

@AutisticCallum_ IDK. I never go to a store without a list (which I call a map). Yes, I've been up and down the aisle, which is why I never leave without my trust map 🛒🗺📝
