I’m back with part two of this episode and this is where I go into the impact that this belief might have on us ADHDers and what we might struggle with. This episode looks at what we can do to start dismantling these ideas in all of us.
Challenges for ADHD:
Writing struggles
Speaking expectation
Intuitive intuition
Attention span for reading and writing
Black ppl getting more severe diagnosis for mental illness anyway
Schools testing
Black students seen as less intelligent
We have many skills and they aren’t recognised
What I’ve learned:
figure out which things need to be written down and come up with alternative ways to document
work to recognize the contributions and skills that every person brings to the organization
make sure anything written can be clearly understood
Ask yourself: How are you perpetuating/internalised this belief? How are you working to recognise the different contributions and skills of ppl you work with, in your family and supporting growth in those areas?
