June 6th Hot Topic – How to Recognize and Stop Gaslighting
Adults with ADHD are more likely to be gaslit. Gaslighting is intentional manipulation to gain control. In this meetup we will discuss how to recognize this manipulation and shut it down. Join us for New Tech Northwest's ADHD & Neurodiverse Meetup. This virtual event will combine community and coaching to support you in building supportive systems for managing your neurodiverse brain. Discover how to decrease your neurodiverse challenges while building relationships with fellow ADHDers and neurodiverse peers who are on similar journeys.
You are not alone. Come join a community of peers where you can safely discuss your neurodiverse experiences with a supportive community of peers twice a month.

You can attend these virtual Meetups on the first and third Tuesdays 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.

One in five adults are neurodiverse and one in twenty have ADHD. In the tech industry these numbers are even higher.

Unfortunately, most business cultures are not very neurodiverse-friendly because neurotypical folks have not been educated on what it’s like to live with our faster than normal brains, rejection sensitive dysphoria, low executive function, low working memory, low dopamine, and low serotonin.

In these Meetups we’ll explore how you can better explain neurodiversity to others to bridge this education gap.

Maybe you’re undiagnosed, but experience ADHD symptoms. While there is no replacement for a professional diagnosis from a licensed expert, if any of this feels familiar, you can take this test to assess whether you might have ADHD.

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.
