The ADHD Manual Podcast

The ADHD Manual Podcast

Abby Chau, LMFT, ADHD-CCSP

The ADHD Manual: How to survive with a colorful brain in a black and white world. Living with ADHD in a world built for neurotypicals (people with the most common brains) is like trying to follow an IKEA assembly manual for our Hot Wheels race car track pieces. We could toss this rocket launcher and buy crappy plastic pins. Or we could toss the manual and write our own.

The ADHD Manual Podcast - A Love Letter To My Neurodivergent Brain

10/14/21 • 23 min

I hope this episode makes you uncomfortable.
I know it was for me.
Instead of continuing the Executive Function Chronicles, I decided to go a different direction in honor of ADHD Acceptance Month.
I decided to take a break from talking about the ways my brain holds me back and send gratitude for all the ways it makes my life more vibrant, colorful, and beautiful.
Neurodivergent life is really hard, AND I love my ND brain. And I love yours too.
Happy ADHD Acceptance Month.
