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.

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.
