We are standing on the brink of a brand new year, and l know for many, those mighty fireworks, with their thunderous booms and dazzling sparks, can feel like a storm ripping through your senses, overwhelming and intense. I see your courage, your resilience.

Many of us with ADHD who also menstruate know that our symptoms fluctuate with hormones.
Unfortunately, without enough research, many of us are also gaslit and ignored by doctors prescribing our meds. We're often led to believe we have to put up with it, or that we are being dramatic and simply seeking drugs.

We need to advocate for ourselves.

Women can have ADHD....

yes we masked and presented differently thanks to societal expectations. Time for medical practitioners to catch up.

PARALLEL PLAY refers to engaging in seperate individual activities in the presence of others, without attempting to influence their behavior.

Personally, I appreciate socializing as it helps alleviate feelings of loneliness. However, I tend to prioritize individual tasks or shy away from group activities, conversations, games, or small talk. Overall, I find comfort in the company of others while I focus on my own work, or remain mentally focused in general.

In PARALLEL PLAY, there's no anticipation or demand to interact following social norms; we only communicate when we want to, in the manner that suits us best.

Join us in our group *Neurodivergence Intensifies* , let's start building those support networks too many of us NDs lack.
