arcana // runehey, hi! i'm looking for resources that might help in a neurotypical + neurodivergent relationship. something the NT (and ND) can educate themselves with and something the ND can use to better communicate their needs and how their brain works to their loved ones. ADHD is a given, autism is not/(but possible, and there's a lot of overlap). so ideally these resources would be somewhat generalized so it doesn't seem like "okay so you're saying you're autistic?" thank you! <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyadhd</a> <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/askingadhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@askingadhd</a> <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautisic" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyautisic</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/actuallyadhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actuallyADHD</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/askingadhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#askingADHD</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/actuallyautistic" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actuallyAutistic</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/askingautistics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#askingAutistics</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/neurodivergent" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neurodivergent</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/adhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a>

Samantha RosePeople with more ADHD (diagnosis) clue. Are there any noticeable downsides to a formal ADHD diagnosis with regard to discrimination and more?I'm asking since for Autism there can be some significant cases where having a formal diagnosis is a problem, but it seems to me to be not an issue in the same way for ADHD.I mostly care about Ireland / EU, but if people have information from other locations I'm interested in that too.PS. Not that I think it makes a difference, but I'm not asking for myself in this case. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AskingADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskingADHD</a>
