 Imagine you're on an airplane, something's gone wrong and you must perform an emergency landing. The air traffic controller on the ground talks you through the whole process, but they have no idea what the control panel looks like. You can see it, but don't know what the switches or dials do. As a result, there's a gap between what air traffic control is saying and what you can understand. It would be a lot easier if you had a manual, right? This manual is awareness and an understanding of ADHD, autism, and the symptoms that come with them. After all, neurodivergent people often have more trouble communicating with people because we think very differently than neurotypicals. The more we all learn about neurodivergence, the better off we all are in the long run. While your treatment is a choice between you and your doctor, educating yourself on how your brain functions is an absolute must. Only you can land this plane safely because that cockpit is your brain and you're the pilot.
