Most people see a mess of puzzle pieces and freeze.
I stare at the chaos and start solving. ADHD didn’t break my brain — it built it for puzzles.

This story is personal. I hope it helps you see yourself in a new way.

Built for Puzzles: How ADHD is My Accessibility Superpower
I was the kid with untied shoelaces and a brain that never sat still. The one who got, “Why can’t you just focus?” more than, “You’re really good at that.

✈️ I'm Heading to Dubai for AccessAbilities Expo 2025

I’m honored to be speaking next week at the AccessAbilities Expo in Dubai, October 6–8. This incredible event brings together accessibility leaders, innovators, and advocates from around the globe to create more inclusive spaces for all.
Accessibility is Usability An estimated 1.3 billion people experience significant disability. Do not limit your market. Design for all. Accessibility is necessary for some but used by all. Situational, temporary, or permanent, ease of use is universally beneficial. Build Accessibility into Your Day-to-Day Work Structure and Relationships Information, structure, and relationships conveyed through visual means can be determined programmatically or are available in text format. Descriptive Content Be sure that non-text content can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols, or simpler language. Equitable Access Ensure equitable access for all content by providing alternative text to images, using descriptive links, avoiding use of color alone, and more.

“Left quote yes right quote.”
That’s what a screen reader says when text is in quotes.

Using quotation marks as emphasis creates unnecessary cognitive load for users of assistive technology.

If clarity is the goal, skip the quotes.
