Understanding Neurodiversity and ADHD
The concept of Neurodiversity has captured the hearts and minds of the ADHD world lately, though there is a lot of confusion about the term, and to whom it applies. What does it mean to be neurodiverse or neurodivergent? Can a person or group “have neurodiversity”? And what are the Neurodiversity Paradigm and Neurodiversity Movement? Come learn important distinctions between these ideas and the tremendous potentials understanding them can hold for our ADHD community. These topics are central to Lisa Joy’s doctoral research, and she is excited to engage us all in an empowering conversation about them.

For Adults: The ADHD Tax
From late fees, compromised relationships, stacks of unopened mail, missed opportunities, lost jobs, missed promotions, business failures, delayed health care, trouble getting through school, or fractured self-esteem, the ADHD Tax has many faces, and deep reaching effects on our lives. If you are tired of it, and want to learn systems and routines that actually work for your brain, this is for you. We will discuss the “Intention / Action” gap: Activation, avoidance, distraction, incompletion, and poor prioritizing skills. So many things contribute to the tax. It’s like “driving with the parking brake on.”
