  • ADHD Housing Accommodations

    Today I'm talking housing accommodations. And by "talking" I mean "giving a Powerpoint presentation" and by "housing accommodations" I mean the quirks of my living space that make my house more ADHD friendly, and some more information on Emotional Support Animals.

    To behold my Powerpoint in all its glory, check out Patreon.

  • ADHD Relationship Accommodations

    *RE-RELEASED 9/23* After so many hours, I have finally cleaned up this audio. I used a program that made a clone of my voice and then I overdubbed the parts that were corrupted - so there are some words that sound a little like a weird robot, but there's no more painful static. 

    Today I'm sharing tips for how ADHDers can ask for accommodations in their personal relationships, and how non-ADHDers can foster more meaningful connections with their ADHD loved ones.

    For ad-free episodes and to read the "Abby's Going to Israel Book" my mom wrote for me when I was three, check out Patreon. It's pretty adorable.

  • Life Lessons

    I am beyond excited, because today I get to show off the amazing minds in my community. Listen to how my neurodivergent peers answered the question:

    What is a life lesson you have learned (or unlearned) that changed your neurodivergent experience for the better?

    Thank you to all who shared so generously. I had to cut a couple for time, so for the full-length and video version of this episode, check out Patreon. 

    If this inspired you to reflect on your own collection of Neurodivergent Life Lessons, it's never too late to join the conversation on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or email: [email protected]. Share what you've learned and you could be featured on a larger piece I'm curating for the website.
