Tips below have been extrapolated from virtual sessions at the ADHD Women\u2019s Palooza<\/p>\n
Co-Created by ADHD COACHES, Linda Roggli and Terry Matlen<\/p>\n
I recently participated in ADHD Women\u2019s Palooza. If you have ADHD and are not familiar with this event, you should definitely find your way there next year. I signed on because many of my clients have ADHD and the topics for this virtual event seemed promising. I was not disappointed and will share some of the gold nuggets I picked up from the numerous podcasts in a series of forthcoming Blog posts.<\/p>\n
Today, I want to first<\/b> emphasize that ADHD women need to understand that your challenges are not one and done, <\/b>so if you find a Coach or therapist who tells you they can FIX you, run the other way. Facing the gremlins with ADHD is a process, an ebb and flow, trial and error, good days and bad days; however, with a Coach or support system who gives you permission to be human and experience setbacks without judgement, there is hope for a more productive tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Quite frankly, some of the suggested Palooza strategies that I became aware of seem like universal game changers for those with ADHD as well as neurotypicals. BTW, GOOGLE SEARCH says \u201cNeurotypical\u201d is a newer term that is used to describe individuals of typical developmental, intellectual, and cognitive abilities. … Individuals who live with autism, are on the spectrum, or who have other developmental differences are referred to as \u201cneurodiverse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another piece of advice is to accept that this is your unique G-d given identity<\/b> packed with many wonderful assets as well as challenges. Embrace all your quirky behaviors that make you happy. Of course, there is the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Acknowledging that you resist doing things is important and is worthy of a deeper dive to give you some insight to that defensive posture you might project to others. Face the enemy head on.<\/p>\n
