#adhdawarenessmonth — Public Fediverse posts

And if you want a fuller example of #NeuroDiverse writing, "The Players Act 1" is also available as part of a bundle of books on itch.io celebrating #ADHDAwarenessMonth. This is a set of 22 books either written by ADHD authors or with significant characters living with ADHD - some of them are both, obviously - including Players.

Important to note it's still at the regular price when bought individually on itch to encourage take-up of the bundle.

Quick PSA: October is #ADHD awareness month. Just spreading the word to create, you know, awareness! 😉

#ADHDAwarenessMonth

My wife doesn't run a fediverse account, so I'm alerting anyone interested that her new book is part of the itch.io bundle collated to bring awareness of #ADHD in writing for #ADHDAwarenessMonth. There's a whole bunch of different genres included and they're all either written by an ADHD author, or have an ADHD significant character.
"The Players Act 1" is both.
If you fancy $90 of ebooks for $25, please give it a look - all DRM-free.

It’s hard for people to get our brains.

Whatever we hyperfocus on we do really well. It’s why I say everything is a remix.

Gen AI doesn’t impress us because our brains work like that already.

I won’t say ADHD is a superpower.

The best creators have it. A lot of people in the C-Suite too. There’s a stigma so they won’t publicly admit it.

Oktober er åbenbart #ADHDAwarenessMonth og derfor ville jeg bare lige fortælle dig at jeg er ADHD'er. Jeg er umiddelbart også autist, så AuDHD.

Det kommer til udtryk på mange forskellige måder og nogle gange har jeg lidt svært ved at adskille det, men det giver god mening, for der er rigtig mange overlap.

Apparently it's ADHD Awareness month.

So yeah... please beware people like me #ADHDer #adhd #adhdawarenessmonth #adhdawareness

Happy #ADHDAwarenessMonth I was diagnosed with ADHD-C in July of this year. I always knew I had trouble paying attention, but did not consider that I might have ADHD until I related so much to my nephew who was diagnosed a couple years ago. Receiving a diagnosis has helped me so much. My life makes a lot more sense. Between medication and developing new skills, I'm starting to figure out what works best for me. There's definitely a stigma & ADHD is not as understood with women. You're not alone!

HOUSEKEEPING WITH ADHD
It’s still #ADHDAwarenessMonth

Today I cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen. Before I was even halfway thru cleaning the kitchen, I managed to knock over my full glass of water, breaking the glass and spilling H2O and glass shards all over the table & floor. Spouse helped clean up and vacuum glass shards. Poor Thor had to get shut in a room so he wouldn’t get hurt as we cleaned. Luckily he has forgiven me. 😭

The smallest distraction at the right precise moment can cause you to forget.

For instance, I went to go take a med. A family member walked up and said something completely unimportant, but enough to grab my attention. Now I literally have no idea if I took it or not.

Will have to investigate; look for clues.

I am VERY aware of my ADHD today

Hey it’s #ADHD Awareness Month.
Today I recorded some vocal harmonies I previously forgot I needed to record. I also did some laundry.
I still have to wash and water Frances McDormand. 🌱

Have suggestions for resources that have helped ADHD folks learn more effectively? Whether it's reading academic articles, giving a presentation, focusing during lectures, or programming in R, I know I can't stay on top of everything. If there are resources you found useful when learning, let me know so I can share. Bonus points if the content creator has ADHD!

On World Mental Health Day, don't forget that I have a short and (I'm told) interesting podcast episode on neurodivergence and mental health.

Take a look if you've got 12 minutes to spare to build your understanding of how mental health can show up for different brains, and to reflect on what you want and need.

Next week, we’ll begin sharing stories from neurodivergent scientists for #ADHDAwarenessMonth.

In the meantime, we’d love for you to explore the newly compiled list of tips, tools and resources below from and for neurodivergent scientists! If you have any suggestions of your own that could help neurodivergent individuals navigate academia, you can submit them here: https://elifesci.org/sparks-TTR

Is anyone struggling with a bit of low mood or low mojo at the moment?

I am.

Now, I know that part of this is natural for me. I just got back from a big trip that included lots of excitement and a big achievement. It's natural that I'll experience some kind of a dip.

After all, the only place you can often go from a huge high is down, at least for a bit.

In Nepal, the days were longer, brighter and warmer.

Here, it's much colder and more damp, and the days are markedly shorter and the skies have been overcast.

Light levels have been demonstrated to have a relationship with some of the neurochemicals that boost mood and motivation.

I have a SAD lamp which I put on for a few hours in the morning which seems to help boost me a bit. These have come down hugely in price now, and a good lamp can be purchased for £25 or less, and it'll last comfortably for a couple of years at least.

If it's within your movement and enjoyment abilities, getting outside when it is warmer and brighter can help you. If you cannot or do not like to leave the house, then even sitting by a window or wrapping up warm and sitting near an open door can help you experience more light and some fresh air.

Music is also a great booster when we're low on zest. I have cranked up the tunes this morning and been doing some terribly screechy singing to some extremely cheesy pop music and that seems to have got me going enough to do some work.

This time of year naturally causes a lot of quirky brains to feel a bit sluggish or down but there are things you can tweak or embed to help with this. I've given you some ideas in this post.

If you're feeling this way, what do you think you could start or re-start to help you get a seasonal lift?

I hope you feel better soon, if you've been struggling a bit. Things can be different soon.

All best wishes and take care,
Becci xxx

If you'd like to listen to my Everest Base Camp extended podcast cut, the link is finally here!

Just to let you know that my Everest Base Camp podcast episode is a little bit delayed. My editor needs to swap the order around of some clips. In a day or two, it should be available and I'll share the link.

Tell me...what should the next episode be on, though?
- Zest (energy and motivation)
- Neurodivergent burnout
- Authenticity and masking
- Starting/keeping habits

#Autism #ADHD #AuDHD #ADHDAwarenessMonth

When I went away to Everest Base Camp, I kept my meditation habit.

However, after the trek, I lost my daily routine and then I had to travel home.

I now find myself in the position that I need to re-activate my meditation habit.

I use the "tiny habits" framework with myself for embedding and keeping habits,

To re-activate my habit, then what I need to do is set the bar really low and shrink the habit back down to make it so small that it's almost too easy and therefore almost absurd to not do it.

I am going back to where I was a few years ago and just meditating 2 minutes a day for a week or two in order to reinforce the time in the day set aside for meditation.

We can make the mistake of thinking we need to go back to "hard mode" when we re-start a habit. Actually, we need to lower the bar often and go super easy.

I meditated yesterday. Let's see if I can make it happen today!

Happy #ADHDAwarenessMonth! 🥳
My favorite lines of today from my #WIP:

~~
“Nice to meet you, Berman,” brightened the woman, looking kindly at the rest of them.

Berman huffed, rolled his eyes and was gone. Still there, physically—just a growling distance away—but safely enclosed within a refusal pose.
~~

I often wish I could do that, too, when I don't have enough mental energy to talk to new people.

Or to ones I already know.

Can you relate?...
