In honor of ADHD Awareness Month, let's talk about some common misconceptions of ADHD. These stereotypes can often inhibit someone from pursuing a diagnosis, and can definitely contribute to low self-esteem.

ADHD brains crave dopamine. If something is boring, you'll find yourself doing anything else to follow the dopamine. Doing dishes is dull and repetitive, with too may steps and sensory issues. Of course you'd rather watch your comfort show, play a video game or daydream for hours. Habits and sameness don't generate dopamine, novelty does. So your fancy skincare routine, new planner or shiny laminated chore chart? Of course that works for the first few days or weeks. But when the novelty wears off it's almost impossible to keep up.

If you find yourself or your child struggling with any of these stereotypes or feeling stuck and unable to find a way forward, we're here to help! Our Peer Support Specialists have been there, done that, gotten the t-shirt and now want to help you out of the same rut they were in. We're not perfect, but we've tried a lot and honestly? Sometimes you just need someone to sit next to you and hold your hand through the process.

We understand so much more about ADHD now than we did even 10 years ago. There's no shame in how your brain is wired! If you suspect you or a loved one might have ADHD there are a lot of wonderful resources available online. If you have questions and can't figure out how to ask the internet, or if you're interested in an assessment feel free to reach out! We specialize in neurodivergence here at Narrative and we'd love to help any way we can.

1 in 9 children are diagnosed with ADHD.

There is no excuse for calling these kids “bad” because their brains work differently.

They need understanding, support, patience, and accommodations.

Not shame.

October is ADHD Awareness Month. 🧡

Do you struggle with time blindness? What about transitions? Do you always lose track of time?

Time blindness is a common struggle with ADHD and Autism. You think you'll need an hour to do the dishes so you avoid them, when in reality it only takes 15 minutes. You get lost in a book or a new hobby or a conversation with a friend and all of a sudden two hours have passed and you're running late. You tell your kid they have 10 more minutes on the playground and then it's time to go home for dinner, but the next time you look at the clock it's been 30 minutes and now dinner is a bowl of cereal instead of the homemade meal you'd been planning on.

If any of this sounds familiar, you need to know two things:
1) You're not alone
2) There's a solution and it's easier than you think

TIMERS

It can be any kind of timer, but our favorite is a visual timer. Not only does it help you keep track of time, it shows you the passing of time and often that visual representation helps your brain keep track better.

As a bonus, we often find that kids respond better to the timer saying time's up rather than a parent interrupting.

Therapy isn't only for the moments when everything feels like it's falling apart.

You can start therapy because you're...
• You feel overwhelmed more often than you'd like.
• You're struggling to manage anxiety, stress, or big emotions.
• Parenting has become harder than you expected.
• You want to better understand yourself or your child.
• You're navigating a new diagnosis or wondering if one might explain some of your experiences.
• You feel stuck and aren't sure what needs to change.
• Or maybe you simply want a safe place to talk, grow, and build healthier ways of coping.

Sometimes, therapy is about getting help before the crisis, not only after.

If you've been wondering whether it's "bad enough" to start therapy, consider this your reminder: you don't have to prove that you're struggling enough to ask for help.
