It’s been said before but the second Greta started making connections between climate change and capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism the media coverage came to a screeching halt.

Advertising ADHD tools and gadgets on an ADHD article or website is a cruel test of impulse control

Dentists need training to work with ADHD and/or autistic patients, especially around sensory issues.

I've never had a dental appointment where the dentist or hygienist didn't assume that I was too stupid to know how to take care of my teeth or too lazy to care (1/🧵)

[Brendan Mahan, M.Ed., ADHD & Neurodivergent Coach @adhdessentials]

Note:  No one is lazy.  Lazy doesn’t exist.  What you’re seeing is learned helplessness brought about by a consistent lack of skills, support, and/or resources.  Provide people with the skills/support/resources they need, and the “lazy” can be worked through.

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.

My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

@frikilinux2 Honestly, I forced myself to wear headphones for a week just to see if they helped. After 3 days I was sold. Didn't care if everyone looked at me weird, cause I learned that I wasn't in pain anymore.

In case this gives you some encouragement:

This happens a lot in ABA therapy as well because they don't understand autistic neurology.

If you don't know what ABA is, it's the most commonly suggested therapy for autistic kids, but it's actually traumatizing to autistic kids. Here's why:

Stop asking 'have you lost weight' or some other surface question. Ask something meaningful that opens up authentic conversation.

5 Questions That Will Change Your Relationships:

[Mack Owings @mackasaurus_]

ADHD is wild bc I will see that I need leave in 5 min and think I have time to wash all the dishes and take the dog out and maybe put away laundry too…
but if I have a meeting in 90 min, that’s only enough time to get lunch and drive over there (a whole 7 min drive)

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Many of us are are going into fight or flight consistently throughout the day. This causes issues at work or in relationships. We can actually train ourselves to respond to stress in new ways.
