“If you have trillions of different ways to learn and understand ideas, process environmental stimuli and handle the many other necessary pieces of information you use to survive and thrive daily, then how can you be expected to limit yourself to a few standardized and required ways of learning and performing in the classroom, the workplace or even the home?
Here you are, born with an infinite set of processing options, and the rest of the world says, ‘We will choose them for you, and if they don’t work because that is not the way your brain works, well, that is just too bad.
If you have been living your life based on what others tell you are the ways you must learn, and those ways haven’t been working for you, you may be apt to believe that you are incapable of learning.
From there, it’s a short mental trip to believing that you are broken — a terrible, destructive belief that many of us with ADHD have felt at some point in our lives. But it’s not true.
The standardized and required ways of learning, processing information and performing may not work for you. But there are unique and individual methods that will.
For those of you with ADHD, your job is to discover the options that naturally work for you, integrate them into your daily life and inform everyone else that, from now on, you will dictate what ways you learn, work and live best — not the other way around!
Understanding your unique brain wiring, and educating others in your life about what works best for you, can help you facilitate home, school and workplace environments that honor and serve individuals, each as unique as you are.”
How does your ADHD unique brain wiring show up?
Are you giving your self permission to proceed with identifying, embracing and integrating your unique brain wiring into your life, RIGHT NOW?"
