Hi Reader,

It's October 3rd, which means ADHD Awareness Month is officially here.

Again.

Your feeds are probably drowning in ADHD content right now.

But of course, ADHD isn't just for October.

It's all year round. Awareness months are great, they really are.

But don't get caught up following people who are just jumping on the bandwagon to boost their own visibility.

There are great people out there building awareness and pushing for neuroinclusion every single day.

It's their life's work, not just their October content plan.

Those are the voices worth listening to.

If you're looking to expand who you're learning from, here are some people doing brilliant work year-round:

Charlie Hart – lived experience educator covering the intersections of neurodivergence, mental health, and sexuality. Their keynotes are exceptional.

Sam Warner – does powerful work on inclusive communication.

Sunny Jane Wise – lived experience educator focused on neuroinclusion and the neurodiversity movement.

There are many others too, and I'd encourage you to seek them out.

So yes, this month might look like a celebration and inclusive on the surface.

But use it as a chance to check in with yourself and your spaces.

Are they genuinely inclusive for the other 11 months?

If not, get curious about why.

Maybe education that's missing. Or training or coaching. Or something else entirely.

There's always a solution worth exploring, especially if you're in a position to learn something that could improve your life or make your world more inclusive.

Lead with curiosity.

Because shaming ourselves has never got anyone anywhere useful.

Let's make a bit less space for that and a bit more space for self-compassion instead.

Best and brightest love.
