Been thinking about this for a while, but I think one of the greatest improvements you can make while having ADHD is to let go of your stigma and pride into fitting the neurotypical world. And I first noticed how important this is when I was searching stuff that can help me with my ADHD. I was taught all my life that gadgets and items like dishwashers, electric toothbrushes, etc. were for "lazy people". It took me a long time to unlearn and realize that these sayings are actually coming from a neurotypical and ableist point of view. I think you guys get it, but the point is: some of these items are actually helpful. Many of us suffer with executive dysfunction and other symptoms. Buy that roomba. Buy that salad cutter so it can help prepare your meals. Search "ADHD Friendly houses" so you can view methods and items that can help organize your lifestyle. Of course personal preference/income comes along into organizing/buying things, but there's a lot of useful stuff. Your wellbeing is more important than fitting in the neurotypical standards.
#also: im not shaming ppl who are afraid of showing ADHD symptoms to others. a lot of us still mask symptoms to survive.#but letting go of my pride that i can do chores the same way as NT ppl was very important for me.#like its ok if u need a roomba to clean ur floor#it doesnt mean ur lazy ure just trying to adapt ur ADHD#and ure cleaning the house instead of leaving it dirty and not feeling like crap bc of something u cant exactly control over#adhd#actually adhd#neurodivergent#isabela's originals#made an edit on this post bc of grammar mistakes
