Overwhelmed by the response to this, thank you all so much♥️ While you’re here, please also check out this project I’m working on re. neurodivergent higher ed. students’ mental health with my wonderful supervisor @AjaLMurray & @ScotSMART_22. The survey’s even shorter than mine!👇🏼

[Sumeiyah Koya @sumeiyah_koya]

We are also particularly interested in hearing from you if you are someone who tends to be underrepresented in existing ADHD research (non-white, non-male, non-university age), so please do get involved or share with others who you know meet any of these criteria :)

[Sumeiyah Koya @sumeiyah_koya]

We’re also interested in hearing from people from a range of different backgrounds (POC, parents, older adults, people who either did not complete degrees or did not attend uni, people diagnosed as kids/teens, people diagnosed as adults etc) so if you know anyone please do share!

[Sumeiyah Koya @sumeiyah_koya]

Please share with your networks! (link in recruitment poster below probably doesn't work so here's the survey link again: https://t.co/1VzJlZHbgj)

[Sumeiyah Koya @sumeiyah_koya]

If you're 18+, have ADHD & are interested in helping us better understand the challenges experienced by adults with ADHD in their daily lives, please help out with my PhD research by filling out this short survey & signing up for one online interview :) 👉 https://t.co/1VzJlZHbgj

Hi friends, we’re thrilled to announce that we are speaking at our first ever conference as ReASoN! Sumeiyah and George will be giving a talk during at @durham_uni’s PGR conference, during an EDI panel focused on neurodiversity. Wish us luck!🤞🏼

Oh, on the off-chance you still need convincing, a trip to the pub afterwards is very much on the cards. 😇

[Researchers & Students on Neurodiversity (ReASoN) @ReASoN_Network]

Hello Twitter
In the spirit of ADHD timekeepers everywhere we have decided to leave this announcement to the very last minute!
In less than 3 hours our very own George Newman will be giving a talk, about ReASoN, as part of the @EduExeFestival at the @UniofExeter
Come say hi!

Honestly don’t know how I would cope with anything without my neurodivergent community anymore. With emotions running so high rn, here’s a little reminder to all of us to be kind to ourselves and to each other. So much love for you all💕

[Researchers & Students on Neurodiversity (ReASoN) @ReASoN_Network]

If you’ve been around long enough you may recall ReASoN conducting a similar study using focus groups back in 2021. We’re now looking to build on the valuable insights you shared with us then, so please consider getting involved! Learn more/take part here: https://t.co/5HkfdPnGJE

I’m working on this study with Ellie, @anthilemoon & ReASoN co-founders/former coordinators @DrAbbyRussell & @Calddee! We’re interested in what research you think should be prioritised re. neurodiversity in higher ed. Survey takes 10mins, please consider filling it out! -Sumeiyah
