ADHD and autism come with constant pressure to fit into society, act 'right,' perform, and deliver like everyone else. The weight of those expectations fuels our anxiety, low self-esteem, and a constant sense of not being enough.

Neurodivergent people constantly feel judged, even when we know logically no one cares. It’s why socializing is so hard, we can’t stop overthinking and creating negative scenarios in our minds.

People think ADHD is just about having trouble focusing. But it’s not just about school or work. It affects everything in life. – Starting – Stopping – Sleeping – Remembering things – Prioritizing – Regulating emotions

I wonder how much money my parents would've saved on planners, organizers, tutors, and academic support programs if they had just had me evaluated for ADHD as a kid instead of assuming ADHD is a result of bad parenting.

My ADHD brain thought I could leave in 5 minutes. Then I remembered... - The laundry - My phone is almost dead - I need to feed the dog before I leave - Where's my wallet ? Now I'm late.... Again.

People think ADHD is bad behaviour. But really, it's just a lot of curiosity. In school, questioning things too much makes us look like a problem. People blame it on bad parenting, and the kid never gets evaluated. That was me.

I was the quiet, anxious kid growing up. No one knew I had ADHD, so no one cared. Now, I know how much that matters. So I’m the nicest, most supportive stranger every kid has ever seen.

ADHD and autism turn us into performers. We get so good at masking because we know no one would ever understand what goes on in our head.
