This week is #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek Did you know that ADHD can be classed as a disability under the Equality Act 2010? If you have an employee who tells you they have ADHD, you as an employer will need to know what it is and how to ensure that you do not discriminate.  https://lnkd.in/ewksStev #adhd #Neurodiversity #neurodevelopmental #equalityAct #neurological

A long but helpful read. I think the labels, the discussion and perspective they offer, can be helpful for families with AuADHD people. Well it is for me anyway!

Neurotypes are lifelong aspects of identity that shape how individuals perceive, think, and interact with the world. However, neurodiversity efforts often focus primarily on autism and ADHD; leaving out so many other neurotypes. True inclusion and neurodiversity affirmation means embracing the full spectrum of neurotypes, not just a popular few. #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergence #Neurodivergent #NeurodiversityAffirming #Neurotype #Diversity #NeurodiversityUmbrella #MentalHealthMatters #Autism #ADHD

Did you know that there is a link between joint hypermobility and ADHD? 🤸🧠 I actually stumbled upon this connection inadvertently, and once I started to dig deeper, I realized how closely interrelated these two conditions are. Explore the testing methods, treatment options, and ongoing research that aims to connect the dots. Whether you're affected, or supporting someone who is, these insights could lead to better management and care. 📚 https://lnkd.in/eUMV-ejs #Neurodivergence #ADHD #OrchidPediatrics #DevelopmentalPediatrics

Gastrointestinal problems are such a common co-morbid issue for many Autistic people. A diagnosis of IBS was given to me in my teens, for symptoms which became a living nightmare, taking me very close to a serious eating disorder and suicide during my twenties. It was so bad I used to wish to have a colostomy bag! Sadly my late brother would undergo such a procedure in 2014. I finally received life changing medication in 2007, at age 32, but waited another 13 years before the connection between this and my being Autistic was made after my Autism diagnosis at age 45. It was hearing another Autistic person share their lived experience of challenging gastrointestinal problems for me to make the connection between the two, then finding the stats and research. Gastrointestinal suffering is another (rarely considered) route to exploring whether a person is Autistic. There are so many doors into finding us, yet we only seem to use the doors of mental illness suffering. #latediagnosis #autism #gastricproblems #IBS #gastrointestinal #anorexia #ARFID #eatingdisorders #suicideprevention

👉Individuals have started to learn more about developmental disabilities, such as autism and ADHD, through social media. Some have self-identified as having a developmental disability, though they have not received a clinical diagnosis. 👉What are some of the positive aspects of this and what are some of the pitfalls? Are these even the right questions to be asking? 👉These issues are unfolding in real time and hold significant meaning and implications for clinicians and individuals. What do you think? 👉I appreciate nuance and complexity. I believe many seemingly conflicting truths can coexist. I don’t think there is one right answer. Please be respectful in your responses knowing that we don’t know each other’s personal stories and we are all doing our best to be humans in a messy world ❤️ . . . . . . #autism #audhd #autismspectrum #audhder #autisticidentity #autismawareness #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiversityaffirming #ndaffirming #autismfamily #pediatric #pediatrician #psychologist #medicalmodel #therapy #therapist #childtherapist #neurodivergent #adhder #askanautistic #therapygoals #twiceexceptional #2ekids #2e #adhd #adhdkids #adhdassessment #selfidentification #selfidentity
