I wrote this book to teach parents how I manage my ADHD and my son's ADHD without medication. If you're a parent of an ADHD kid, this book will teach you to make a dramatic difference in your kid's behavior immediately. jordantaylor.gumroad.com/l/T…
Masking is a term in the neurodivergent community that means pretending to be different in social situations.
Newsflash: everyone does that. We all have a shadow side at the least. If people did not mask, the world would be pure chaos.
Masking is not bad.
I respect this man standing strong against drugging his child.
But I wonder how much physical activity is available in this situation?
If he ran around in a backyard or park from dawn till dusk, would he have trouble sleeping?
My 5 year old son has some attention challenges. Very hyperactive mind. Some would call it a "problem," but I see it as a super power.
But it does require some extra work. Recently, I made a powerful discovery about his mind.
At bedtime, we have started to do calming meditations together. He has a hard time calming his mind and body at bedtime.
Here's what I noticed: when his mind is given something to focus intently on, his body calms down. For the first time really ever... I saw my son's body be still as he prepared for sleep.
His mind craves stimulation. The act of imagining the images in the meditations gives him what he needs and channels it in a relaxing way at bedtime.
I will never medicate my child because he has a special mind. I will help him harness it.

The best play is not expensive.
Kids on phones don’t even go outside.

Oh look, it's every single teacher meeting I've ever been to.
And every time, I kept thinking "DEAR GOD KILL ME NOW" until the meeting was over.

It’s funny to me how many guys on here will lament the fall of the west in their over-the-knee shorts and graphic T-shirts.
They can see the decline in morals, food, entertainment - even art and architecture - but are totally blind when it comes to their own style and grooming.
This week I used ChatGPT to help with my job for the first time. Two thoughts:
1. It's not good enough yet to be a threat, unless you're a midwit.
2. It will be a serious threat to all knowledge workers very, very soon. We're all screwed.

GM!
You are always viewing your earlier life as a condensed anthology of stories.
The chapter you are living in currently is not as boring as you think it is.
I once proposed a project plan to my boss. He rejected it.
I went back and printed it out in landscape and color. And resubmitted it. "Now this is more like it!" he said and approved it.
I learned a lot that day.

If you have this obsessive drive, first THEY will label you “ADHD”.
Next, they’ll make you feel like somethings wrong with you.
Harness this energy and make your life fantastic 💪💰
Fentanyl? People get so upset. It's immoral! It's deadly!
Same people don't say peep about 3 million kids on amphetamines. Powerful, psychoactive stimulants.
Can you say there's no harm done with a straight face?
If you believe you're the sum of the five people you spend the most time with - this includes your romantic partner.
Cutting an abusive, insecure, energy vampire out of my life was the best thing I ever did for my mental health.
Men should be loyal, but not at any cost.
Does free will exist?
If so, it's diminishing.
There are two proven ways to reduce anxiety.
1. Confront what makes you anxious. This is called exposure therapy.
2. Become competent at a handful of skills. This raises your self-esteem. You won't feel like you're at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

5 out of 7 is a 71%.
That's a C-.
If you fuck around every weekend drinking and eating like crap, don't expect "A" results.
An #ADHD diagnosis robs you of your personal power. Do you want to have better focus? Do you want to be more organized? Then, stop believing you or your loved one has a broken brain.
There are real ways to improve attention, focus, impulse control.
I can teach you.
Parents, please understand this is coded language for "I can't teach your kid basic knowledge."
You send your kids to school thinking they will learn tangible facts about the world. Instead, they get the same gooey, emotional soup year after year.
End result: unemployable.
