Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a misnomer, as we can have an abundance of attention for the things we are very interested in.

What do you think ADHD should actually stand for?

I reckon this:

Attention
Discerning
Hyperactive
Doobry

Hi!

I'm looking for some more participants to take part in interviews for my PhD research. The interviews I've done so far have been amazing!! Very insightful and thought-provoking.

Please share with anyone who might be interested.

The full poster is in the comments.

It really bothers me when I get an unsolicited DM from some random who says,
"I came across your profile".

That is so inappropriate 😱

Take a look while you can because tomorrow it will be October so me and the other bisexuals will become invisible once again.

If you look carefully you may still be able to spot us, wearing black and drinking pumpkin spice latte.

The Tangerine Tyrant is trying to erase bi people and eliminate autistic people, but I’m still here, autistic, bisexual, loudly and proudly visible.

Being bi and autistic is part of my authentic self. Both deserve to be seen and respected.

Representation matters.
Bisexual visibility matters!

A pop up box on Tylenol dot com
tylenol.com TYLENOL We stand with science, and we stand with you. For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most. Why? Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history. The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label. High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor. We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.

The Power of Self-Assigned Identity Labels
Hi, my name is Charlie Hart, and I am also known on social media as ‘Ausome Charlie’. Yes, that is ‘Ausome’ with an ‘Au’ for ‘Autistic’- one of my self-assigned labels right there! I am a neurodiversity inclusion keynote speaker with a background in HR Analytics. Starting to Self-Assign Labels When I realised that I was autistic in 2018, I set up social media channels under the handle @AusomeCharlie to share my journey and learn from others with lived experience.

Speaker friends, how do you handle that difficult after lunch speaking slot, when people either want to carry on chatting or take a nap?

This is how I managed it at the IGPP Neurodiversity at Work Conference this week.
