Supporting ADHD requires more than task lists or productivity hacks. For people who are both ADHD and neurodivergent, support needs to consider the full context. That means recognizing not just symptoms, but how they interact with identity, environment, and lived experience.
ADHD often overlaps with traits like sensory sensitivity, time perception differences, or nonlinear thinking. Standard approaches that rely on strict structure or pressure to perform often fall short. What helps most is support that meets people where they are and makes space for flexibility.
This might include adjusting communication styles, allowing movement during sessions, exploring strategies that align with your energy patterns, or building routines that allow for recovery time. ADHD support should reduce shame, not reinforce it.
It also means understanding that executive function challenges are not a failure of effort. Forgetting, procrastinating, or losing track of time are part of how ADHD works. These experiences deserve care and curiosity, not blame.
Therapy that supports ADHD in a neurodivergent-friendly way focuses on collaboration and respect. It does not aim to force change, but instead helps identify what feels possible and sustainable.
