Learning: ADHD, Dyslexia, Etc...

Being Neurodivergent is something I know a thing or 2 about.

Without being officially diagnosed with a report... But being diagnosed by a psychologist and raising my daughter how has all diagnosis... I can talk to you about it all.

ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysorthographia, name it. Its what I like to call being different. Learning differently. Not worst, not better, differently.

Unfortunately the school system and the regular life system is not made for people who learn differently. So you end up being "the naughty one", "the one that disturbs", "the one who challenges", "the no good one".... and th elist goes on.

Nowaday, we are more equiped and understand it better. So there is more help and more solutions. Doctors are quick to offer the pills. But they are not all bad. It's just wabout finding what works for you or your child.

NeuroDivergent people are often, before diagnosis, in a position to feel alone, or misunderstood, or different, or a failure. Have you ever felt one of those things? Completely different to your friends and family?

You learn differently? You think differently? You act differently?

An early diagnosis is often the best solution, in order to find out more about yourself and allow you to gain all the tools you need to thrive. Because no one is a lost cause. No one deserve to feel less than.

Everyone has value and a purpose on this planet.

In my case, I always felt different, as a young girl. It was harder to keep friends. I was an introvert who could have fun. I wouldn't open up to anyone. I had an unusual sense of style. Different to other. I was the kind girl that wanted to please everyone.

My reasoning was good, but different.

I understand it all more today, because I have the privilege to have neurodivergent children. My youngest child has ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysothographia, and more. She's perfect as she is. She's smart, she's kind, she's hyper sensitive and can sense the energy around. She empathic, caring and has a lot of compassion for other. What a beautiful human being she is. I learn from her everyday. Little does she know, is that she has taught me more about myself in the last 12 years and my previous 30, before she was born. Thanks to her I learn to appreciate all the sides of me, that I didn't like before. I see those as strength now, than I ever did. By raising her and finding tools for her, I have allowed myself to find or recognise the tolls I have made for myself throughout my life. How amazing we are as human being, that we create ourselves tools and patterns to guide us through life, even without knowing it.

We are strong as human being, without knowing it.

Instead of dividing each other, let's unite all of our differences and make the world a better place. A place for all to be and all the create a kind and caring world.

Our differences make us unique and beautiful. Put together, being united, can only make us stronger and kinder.

To you all neurodivergent beauties. You Matter!
