“If we can actively love, there will be no attention deficit and no disorder”. What an awesome book. Helped me a lot in understanding myself

I read this because of #ISpyBingoSept bathing suit promp. @TheAromaofBooks
Geared to young teens, but all this kid does is give rants. The topic was good, too long of nothing happening, and then a cliffhanger. I'm not reading book 2.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1w

The last thing I thought I would learn about myself while reading a book about ADHD, is that I was neglected as a child

I loved the transparency of who got money from where in relation to therapies and methods discussed in the book. I loved their ideas about how schools and parenting need to change for ADHD children (and probably all children if we‘re being honest).
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I was a little troubled by the support for ABA therapy, given the number of autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD people traumatised by it. They did address this and said that it could be done without causing this trauma, but most of the trauma wasn‘t discovered or understood until years later, so personally, I‘d ere on the side of caution and avoid; but that‘s just me. Over all, I felt very seen by everything in this book. 2w

I love the layout of the book, it made it very easy to read and kept me interested. Unfortunately, the content wasn't as impressive.

This is an introduction to ADHD and should be treated as such. There's a lot of useful information, it's a bit skewed towards ADHD is a super power which I don't like, and some of it is a bit patronising.

⬇️

PuddleJumper This is not a toolkit or however it describes itself. The 10 step is basically get routines while ignoring that executive dysfunction exists and people with ADHD often can't form habits.

Chrissyreadit Did you read ADHD 2.0? 3mo
Jari-chan I don't like the ADHD superpower idea either 🙄 3mo

PuddleJumper @Chrissyreadit No, I'll have a look. Thanks! 3mo
PuddleJumper @Jari-chan It's very toxic positivity. You can discuss the good aspects of ADHD without making it seem like you're a special lizard that figured out how to fly. It also makes me feel bad because I'm struggling to brush my teeth and apparently I'm supposed to be some crazy creative person 3mo
AmyG Not good spin. Not everything needs to be that. Just be honest. 3mo
Jari-chan @PuddleJumper Exactly! It totally ignores the fact that this world is not built for neurodivergent people. It makes it easy for others to think "Oh wow, then you're all set", while we're actually struggling with basic tasks. And as soon as we admit that we can't keep up, we just have to "try a bit harder" ? Like, I've tried for basically all my life. 3mo
Cuilin @PuddleJumper I also hate the super power bullshit when basic self care is a challenge. 3mo
PuddleJumper @AmyG Exactly. There are good and bad aspects, you don't need to sugarcoat it especially for adults 3mo
IriDas I hate the “it‘s a super power narrative.” It‘s just an excuse not to give people the help they need. And “habits” what?!?!?!? As someone with ADHD who has been trying that my whole life—what a friggin joke!!!! 3mo
Chrissyreadit @PuddleJumper I struggle with so many things i was made to feel bad about and did not realize are part of having ADHD because i was never dx- I think our culture creates a world that is much harder for people with ADHD…. 3mo
PuddleJumper @IriDas The amount of habit trackers I have or attempted because I kept being told to just do it for 30 days and it'll stick! Make those healthy habits blah blah. It was a relief finding out that my brain worked differently and I wasn't lazy 3mo
PuddleJumper @Chrissyreadit It's hostile to people who aren't neurotypical. There's expectations that certain things are easy for everyone and if you can't do it then you're lazy and it's a moral failing. Absolutely messes you up. I've only just been diagnosed with ADHD and I'm having to undo so much negative speak, I've always considered myself lazy or blamed myself for struggling when other people didn't 3mo

A reread (re-listen) for me. I felt I needed it.
