I'm a neurodivergent health research advisor with a PhD.
Here are 14 life-changing ND accommodations that are stupid-simple but way too underused:
1. Listen to fast music during tasks you want to finish quickly (shopping, cleaning, getting ready, walking to the gym). Your body follows rhythm faster than your mind follows intention.
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
The analogy wasn’t malicious said the person who made the remark. But the impact was clear..it made people, most especially women feel disgusted and disrespected.
If that kind of analogy was used to make a point it clearly reveals the mindset of the person who said it.
That’s not something we should normalize.
If the honorable congressman thinks those remarks belong in the halls of Congress, one can only imagine what passes for normal conversation in private, especially when women aren’t in the room.
What followed was even worse: intellectual dishonesty and refusal to engage with criticism. The familiar playbook of strongman politics that seems to be spreading everywhere these days.
we're taught not to burn bridges because we might need people later. But I pray I never have to depend on anyone who has hurt or humiliated me. May God bless me with abundance so I never have to be in that position.
Major cheat code for life: Stop dragging yesterday into today. The argument. The mistake. The missed chance. It’s already gone. Stop reliving it. Learn fast. Forgive yourself faster. Move forward. Life happens in the direction you face.
My circumstances aren’t a reflection of my worth in this world. There’s more to who I am beyond what’s happening to me. Good things have happened to me before and they’ll happen to me again. I remind myself of that and I repeat it as often as I can.
