Giving Your ADHD a Voice: Self-Advocacy Series Intro


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you wish others could look inside your brain to understand you better!? It's our deepest desire to feel seen, heard, and understood...this is why this self-advocacy series is so important! 

What is self- advocacy? It's speaking up for oneself and what you need to succeed in different environments! Why is this so important?

  1. Because often others don't understand the way our uniquely wired brains work! Some of us look like sitting ducks, masking the day away and paddling like crazy under the surface trying to stay afloat! Others have behaviors that are misunderstood because the internal piece is misunderstood!
  2. Because others don't always know WHAT works best for us (what we need in our executive function toolbox or what to pull out of it when!)
  3. Because others need to know WHEN there is an internal struggle that needs a tool or strategy in the moment (i.e. taking breaks, breaking tasks into parts, or even a need for noise reduction because of the distractions the noises cause.)

Let's take some action steps toward self- advocacy together...

  1. Practice speaking up to those closest to you and safest for you!
  2. Provide EXPLANATION vs. any excuses 
  3. Protect your heart and mind- Sometimes others will choose not to accommodate or hear you in your effort to self-advocate...this is when you put on your armor of unconditional confidence, leaning into what you CAN control... your thoughts, effort, attitude, and how you treat others!
