Why We Love Turbo Thinkers©
Once you know that you are wired differently, that there is a neurobiological explanation as to why you think, act and feel differently than other people, you begin to understand. Once you know that there are others like you, you can practice self compassion. You can be empathetic towards others, perhaps they are Turbo Thinkers too, you can seek treatment to help you get over challenges. You can learn to appreciate your strengths because of your different brain wiring. You can understand that ADHD presents itself differently in every individual at every stage of their life. You can become more aware of your own brain, of how you process thoughts, feelings and actions. You can learn to understand what your brain needs to succeed and how to ask for it. You can learn to appreciate other people's brains and make space for them. You can celebrate not only ADHD but neurodiversity in all of its forms.
You can celebrate YOU!
I, personally, do not like the term ADHD. I also do not like that ADHD Awareness Month is limited to just one month—or that it competes with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and why is that just one month? But I do love the open, courageous conversations full of vulnerability and curiosity that lead to learning and understanding. Join me in expanding our awareness, now and always.
