@niamhgarvey This is several people combined. 🤣🤣 I know I forgot something, too!!! Oh right… #twiceexceptional 😃 We have ALL the fun at my house!

A thing I am learning as a person who got diagnosed at 36 years old is I am not a typical #ADHD person. But I really, really hate the term #TwiceExceptional as an adult. It is a name created for kids like me to get them what they need in school, by making them seem like something extra human. It translates to the professional adult world exactly 0%. Instead I am having to have awkward conversations about how even though I seem like uncanny levels of capable, I struggle with very basic things.
