Deep dives

Embracing Neurodiversity

ADHD is framed not as a disorder but as a neurodiversity that necessitates a personalized approach for individuals to thrive. The program 'Three Days to Fall in Love with Your ADHD Brain' emphasizes understanding the unique functioning of the ADHD brain, especially regarding its manifestation in women. Participants will learn to create their own user manuals, which include tailored strategies that resonate with their personal experiences and strengths. This perspective encourages a reframing of ADHD as a different cognitive style rather than a deficit, highlighting the importance of self-acceptance.
