ADHD Is a Disability – But It Doesn’t Get to Disable Me
I don’t love the narrative that ADHD is just a superpower waiting to be unlocked with the right planner or protein shake.
But I also don’t buy the idea that we’re doomed, broken, or helpless.
ADHD is a disability. It affects how we function every single day. It throws wrenches into plans, relationships, jobs, even self-worth. And when you’ve spent years–maybe decades–being misunderstood or unsupported, you can end up feeling like your whole life has been a fight.
That’s real. That’s valid.
But here’s the thing: I don’t want my story–or yours–to stop there.
I want to meet the struggle head-on. Not to fix or erase ADHD, but to build a life that works with it. I want tools, strategies, scaffolding. Not because I need to be “normal,” but because I deserve to function. I deserve peace. I deserve to enjoy my life, not just survive it.
This space–Neurokind–is not about toxic positivity or hustle culture. It’s also not about throwing up our hands and saying, “well, I guess I’ll never be able to do that.”
This space is about trying. Trying again. Trying differently.
It’s about making systems that are gentler, not lazier. It’s about holding ourselves with compassion and also holding on to the belief that we are capable of growth.
Because while ADHD is a disability, it doesn’t get to disable us.
What I Believe
I believe ADHD is hard — and that doesn’t make us weak.
I believe systems should adapt to people, not the other way around.
I believe you can be disorganized and smart.
I believe burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s a sign your support system needs upgrading.
I believe in your capacity to rebuild, even if you’re exhausted.
I believe you're not here for fluff. You're here because you're ready for tools that work - not because you need fixing, but because you want to function.
If you’re new here — welcome.
