The Reality of Neurodivergence: Knees Don't Lie

The Reality of Neurodivergence: Knees Don't Lie

You know how ADHD can cause you to do impulsive things?

Many years ago, but for several years in a row, I decided to try the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenge. You try to write a 50,000 word piece (novel, whatever) in a month.

I did it. It felt great. But in succeeding years it got easier, and eventually (surprise!) I got bored with it.

But some friends of mine from Creative Work Hour mentioned they were doing NaPodPoMo in November. That's "National Podcast Post Month" — challenging you to post thirty podcasts in thirty days.

Now, I'm also an old hand at podcasting (don't bother looking, it's gone from the internet now) but I thought it might be fun to do the challenge with a focus on the ADHD Open Space.

For this first episode, there are four graphics that go along with the talk. I will post them below, but they won't make much sense until after you hear the podcast.

For now, I've got several episodes recorded, several interviews/roundtables planned, but I've also got plenty of open space (see what I did there?) to talk about things that you want to talk about, explore, or share.

All you have to do is post something - either in the episode comments or, if you prefer, by emailing me at gray@adhdopen.space . Hope you enjoy the show!
