New research from the University of Bath offers fresh insight into ADHD, showing that leaning into personal strengths can significantly boost wellbeing. The study found that adults with ADHD who were encouraged to apply their strengths day-to-day reported feeling more positive, more capable and more settled in themselves. Changing one’s context and environment to fit their cognitive profile can make a big difference in how ADHD is experienced.

This echoes so much of what I see in #ADHD coaching, where one of the most powerful things we explore early on with clients is how much their environment can shift within a given context to fit around their strengths. When we stop forcing ourselves into systems that don’t suit us and instead shape work and life around how we naturally thrive, we stop swimming against the current. Only by letting go of structures that no longer serve us we can allow space for something more sustainable to emerge

I'm living my best #ADHD retired life right now, jamming my brain absolutely full with fresh and interesting challenges. Timers and alarms are a fabulous support to ensure that I can do this without crashing and burning.

@kyropoulos It really feels like this should be a no-brainer, and yet... ND folks have to constantly fight for "accommodations" within the systems created by NT folk. I'm glad that public awareness and acceptance seems to growing.
