How to embrace being ADHD during Xmas
Our ADHD decorations are all heart
Our tree is always messy, full of decorations that were neither carefully planned out nor selected to match in color. We choose our decorations with our hearts: Maybe they were given to us by someone special, maybe we created them in school when we were kids, or maybe they hold special memories. So much nicer than a perfectly designed tree with only 2 colors!
And just to be clear, maybe this is not really an ADHD thing. I don’t know, but my entire family is quite clearly very neurodivergent (some diagnosed, some not), and as far as I can see, this type of tree is not that common in other families.
Don’t send ADHDers to go shopping for essentials. Send them to get shiny stuff!
If you have ADHDers in your family, spare them from shopping for essentials this Christmas. It’s not our fault, we can really only pay attention to shiny things that we find interesting. As a result, buying what needs to be bought is not our strength. However, buying interesting presents and shiny decorations is often easy for us because we have an eye for everything unique and pretty.
