Trend: noun. a general direction in which something is developing or changing.
I'm glad #ADHD and Autism diagnosis are a trend, we needed change desperately.
The alternative meaning of trend, "fashion", does not apply here

This is not true.
Gemini will tell you basically anyone has ADHD. If you ask it 3 times you might get 3 different answers. LLMs ("AI") cannot facts.

The two citations it cites have him talking about recovery from addiction, with no mention of ADHD.

Hot take: if you are offering an app that claims to help people with ADHD or other conditions affecting memory, it is unethical to use a subscription method of payment.

I really enjoyed talking to Katy Thompsett for her article on ADHD parenting in the Indo and I love how it turned out. It's also in the print edition (this week or next week?) if you get a chance to pick it up
‘Everything is more stressful, more magnified, louder’ – the highs, lows and hurdles of raising kids when you have ADHD
No one said having kids was easy – for every toothy grin and charming quirk, there’s a sleepless night, the chaos of the local playgroup and the insistence on reading The Gruffalo eight times over.

Looking online for descriptions of abuse to help people recognize abuse and.. everything is describing intentional coercive control.
The majority of people being abusive are clearly not planning it, and there aren't descriptions of this type of abuse. 1/2

So, I wrote this app to help with #decisionFatigue / #decisionParalysis / #ADHD. You give it a to-do list, and it randomly selects a task for you. It only gives you one task at a time, and you have to finish that before it gives you a new one.

We've probably all been on both sides of this in one way or another, especially if we have ADHD.
Let's do our best to clarify with someone that they mean before we take offense.

I’m a writer, and it mortifies me when an email I’ve sent causes offense. It doesn’t happen often, but today a colleague misunderstood me and responded with hurtful accusations cc’d to their team. Any advice or anecdotes to move past my shame spiral? Is this common? #adhd #neurodivergent

For the past week while doing other tasks I have incidentally noticed a stapler which I did not need to use at the time. I now have a task which requires a stapler. I have no idea where the stapler is, or where it was that I noticed it. #ADHD

Apparently, "intrusive sleep" is a sudden onset of drowsiness or sleep triggered by abrupt disengagement from an activity or conversation due to boredom or loss of interest.
It's really interesting, and it explains a few things about someone I know who has ADHD.

As school starts up again, think about what systems can make the daily routines easier. Rather than giving verbal reminders every day, a note like this on the door can help prevent forgotten items, as well as parent burnout. What notes would be helpful to facilitate routines? #adhd #school #routine
