What I Do To Manage My ADHD
In todays climate I’m sure you’ve heard these key words all over social media. Words like ADHD or ADD, which was in the vocabulary of many in order to basically describe when someone was being inattentive. However, what exactly is ADHD? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is actually a different cognitive function and not a disorder. It means to be Neuro-Divergent, which means to differ in mental or neurological function from what is considered typical or normal (frequently used with reference to autistic spectrum disorders). I once saw a YouTube video contextualize being Neuro-Divergent and Neuro-Typical the equivalent of windows and mac software. The brain resembles a computer. However, if you try to run a different software it can not be processed necessarily. This is the same with the brain, which is why Neuro-Divergents often talk about the education systems discrimination towards Neuro-Divergents which can be viewed here. Some people take medication for their ADHD, and some create rituals while learning to live with it. Creating routines helps for someone with ADHD to live with structure.
