January 18th Hot Topic – Managing ADHD Behaviors that Annoy Other People
ADHD symptoms can have an impact on our relationships and sometimes that can take a toll. Irritating symptoms and traits that come along with ADHD such as interrupting, not listening, fidgeting and more can cause people to shy away. The best way to address these behaviors is to understand these behaviors are not intentional. Join this meetup to gain a better understanding of how the ADHD brain is wired and how you might be able to curb these troublesome behaviors.

Check out these articles before the meetup:

• 8 Behaviors Related to ADHD That Annoy Other People

You are not alone. Come join a community of peers where you can safely discuss your neurodiverse experiences with a supportive community of peers once month.

You can attend these virtual Meetups on the third Thursday of every month. The more Meetups you attend, the more peer connections you’ll make with other professionals who have neurodiverse brains like you. Instead of being lonely in your experience, come laugh, learn, and connect with your community.

Join us to be welcomed into a community that gets you and lives with similar neurodiverse brains.

During the Meetups we’ll share struggles as well as systems and strategies to overcome your executive functioning and working memory challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, miscommunication, interrupting, inattentiveness, stress, distractibility, procrastination, paperwork fails, imposter syndrome, having to mask your neurodiversity at work, and weak organization skills.

The Community
Professionals in technology who are managing ADHD, ADD, autism, dyslexia, depression, anxiety, or other neurodivergent conditions.

The Agenda
*You are welcome to show up late or leave early to suit your schedule. We understand that this is a workday event and unexpected priorities arise. We’re neurodiverse and understand these realities.

• 12:00pm – Welcome!
• 12:05pm – Community discussion of today’s main neurodiverse topic
• 12:20pm – Breakout into small groups to discuss the topic further and meet some new friends
• 12:45pm – Return to the main Zoom room to share stories and learnings from your breakout group experience
• 1:00pm – Closing and farewell until the next Meetup

The Vibe
Supportive community of neurodiverse folks who see, understand, and support the ups and downs of your neurodiverse journey. You’ll laugh, smile, and exhale the stresses around living in a neuerotypically-designed world and work places. Come share what you’re up to, be curious and helpful to others, and make some new friends in the tech community!

The Experience
Receive community support and professional coaching as you talk safely with fellow ADHDers and neurodiverse peers about your challenges and solutions around neurodiverse living & working as a professional. Get love, understanding, tools for support, and meet new friends in a fun and safe space. We have fun too.
