Neurodiversity: Some Basic Terms & Definitions

Every single day…

Okay so this isn’t meant to be a pity post, just being honest. I’m struggling at the moment. We are ‘back to school’ and while it’s going way better than ever before, it’s not easy. But the hardest thing is I can’t even write about it as it’s being used against my son. My safe place was here and sharing with you guys, but that has gone and I can no longer safely post honestly. I’m gutted as it was how I felt connected and less alone. I haven’t felt this alone in a long time.

Hoping things will calm down soon 😢

I’ve always been horrendous with money, so when

I’ve always been horrendous with money, so when I realised in the last few years that it was actually my ADHD. It’s definitely allowed me to be a little easier on myself, but also made me a little bit more determined to sort myself out! Any tips gratefully received 🙏🏻

People with ADHD may struggle with money management for several reasons, including:

1. Impulsivity: People with ADHD often have difficulty controlling their impulses, which can lead to impulsive spending and financial decisions.

2. Poor organization and planning skills: ADHD can make it challenging for individuals to stay organized and plan ahead, which can lead to missed bill payments, late fees, and other financial problems.

3. Difficulty focusing and staying on task: People with ADHD may have difficulty focusing on financial tasks such as budgeting, tracking expenses, and managing investments.

4. Procrastination: ADHD can make it difficult for individuals to start and complete tasks, including financial tasks like creating a budget or paying bills on time.

5. Lack of financial education: Many people with ADHD may not have received proper financial education or guidance, leading to a lack of understanding about basic financial concepts and strategies.

6. Impaired executive functioning: ADHD can affect executive functioning skills such as decision-making, problem-solving, and self-regulation, which are important for effective money management.

7. Co-occurring conditions: People with ADHD may also have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or substance abuse, which can further complicate their ability to manage money effectively.

It’s a very personal choice… Which one do you

It’s a very personal choice…

Which one do you favour, or are you like me and use both?! I have always tended to say ‘is autistic’ and ‘has ADHD’ but I really would love to know everyone else’s views/thoughts…

Disclaimer: I will always ask for personal preference of someone before using on their behalf.

#IYKYK

There is always one mum isn’t there, and we all wait for her to finally get the hint and leave…

I’m so glad I no longer have to be in a school’s WhatsApp group! Honestly they are so utterly stress inducing 😳😳😳😳

Actually, wait a minute, if I left the group, does that make me….

Honest to god 🫣🫣🫣🫣 this is when I really see the struggle of my brain as I’m now in overdrive to ensure we have everything on the list between us exactly as it says. But I’m also feeling overwhelmed by it all too and wanting to procrastinate and ignore 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

You might feel F should be able to do this himself and essentially he probs could, but his ADHD means he’ll leave till last minute and might not get it all, and the comms isn’t always the clearest from the Army, so we do together.

I’ll miss him being so far away this year, but also know that my brain will be able to relax a little (only a little) once he’s dropped off with all his kit and settled ✅
