Making a decent living in academia shouldn’t be the exception nor a nice surprise.

It should be the norm.

Sorry, I guess?😂 Yes, I am one of those people.. if I think it, you'll know it! I used to love this about myself. In the past few years, I have faced many criticisms for it but I am slowly re-learning to embrace it again! #StopTheMasking #ADHD #NeurodiverseInAcademia @theadhdacademic.bsky.social

Stop trying to be #neurotypical! It is a FT job and it's never going to work long-term. Understand that w/ the struggles and the extra needs #neurodivergence is bringing into your life also come unique strengths ❤️ #Advocate @theadhdacademic.bsky.social www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8kHv7UC/

I can also report that extroverts can be shy.

I am an extrovert. Being with people Energized me. But new people? Situations where I’m not sure if the rules? Very hard to go. Makes moving to a new place hard, which I’ve done a lot if.
People constantly confuse my introversion with “shyness.” It’s not that I’m shy, it’s that people are demanding and exhausting. I’ll interact with anyone on any topic so long as I can do it asynchronously in the dark

If I had to choose one picture that best illustrates what being #Neurodivergent in academia is like, 👇👇👇. There is a long road ahead until they learn how to nurture & use our strengths. Not sure it'll happen in my lifetime🥺

Some throwbacks to get this account looking like something different than a newborn haha Here I am with Elizabeth Loftus, Dante Cicchetti and Phillip Zimbardo. Some more controversial than others, yet all starting lines of research that have grown to what we know today as psychological science :)))
