I’m not going to give you organizational tips here, but rather I’m going to suggest a way of using the tools you already know that might be helpful. The kicker is that there’s a good chance you are already doing things that partially work for you. These things may come with shame or anxiety because they don’t quite fit the neurotypical mold. From what I’ve seen in my own lived experience and the experiences of my clients, working out what actually matters to you, and leaning into a large dose of chaos can be a real game changer for ADHD folks.

I’m worried about my neurodivergent community. Particularly because autistic folks are more likely than non autistic people to be queer.

It makes a lot of sense why neurodivergent folks are hesitant to engage or re-engage in a process that doesn’t appear to be attuned to their needs. Although there’s been more awareness in recent years, the mental health field has a long way to go to provide consistently helpful care for neurodivergent people.
