(Executive Disfunction IRL)Have you ever thought, "Omg this is a simple thing. Why can't I just do it?!?!" There's a reason "easy" things can be so hard for those of us with neurodivergent brains. And it's not because you suck. It's because we often don't recognize what executive disfunction looks or feels like irl.

It's a biological reality that our brains function di...2023-07-1239 minMaybe Different isn't WrongGet Incompetent! On Purpose!Did you know that being bad at some things is a very good idea? Allow us to introduce you to strategic incompetence - choosing to be bad at some things so you have more resources for the things you actually care about. Because we live in a world that's all about perfectionism, we think we should be able to do all the things well all the time. But also, we're human beings and we have limited time and energy. We cannot possibly be competent at all the things all the time! So, it can...2023-06-1333 minMaybe Different isn't WrongThe Lowdown on Slowing DownSometimes meeting ourselves where we're at isn't convenient.
