21.01.2022 Hands down one of the best articles - such important insight into executive functioning issues -The 34-year-old is successful, but struggles to remember appoin...tments, manage money, and clean her room. She was a strong student in school, but her executive-function difficulties followed her through life. I get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. She first learned of autism at 22, but didn’t give it a second thought. Gregarious and emphatic, she didn’t see herself as autistic. But as she learned more about the different ways it can affect women, she realized that ASD fit her perfectly. She was diagnosed a decade later. She now lives at home and is grateful for the support her family lends, providing gentle reminders to complete tasks every now and then. I am in no rush to leave home, she says. Sue’s hesitation to see herself as autistic is not unique for people with executive differences. Corina Becker, vice president of the Autism Women’s Network, says, The stereotype with autism, women including, is that they are really neat and tidy, and while some of that is true, for many people executive abilities don’t work. Melissa, a 32-year-old working mother, struggled to keep on top of daily tasks when she lived alone in her twenties. Trash and dirty clothes piled up in her apartment. More than once, her family came over and threw out all her belongings. https://theestablishment.co/i-thought-i-was-lazy/index.html

13.01.2022 ASD and ADHD occur together with a great degree of consistency

05.01.2022 Some people find the use of the puzzle logo for autism awareness is somehow offensive to autistic people. As an autistic person I am more likely to find ignorance, discrimination and wilful stupidity offensive. I like this explanation from the folks over at Different, Not Less
