Prevarication, ADHD, and the problem that procrastination doesn’t explain
Prevarication is a loaded word, often associated with evasion or bad faith. But when it shows up in ADHD, it can describe something very different: the difficulty of committing under uncertainty. This blog explores why procrastination doesn’t fully explain this pattern, what’s really happening beneath the surface, and how neurodivergent people can support decision-making without shame or forced pressure.
How to plan for and take a break (and get back to normality)
Taking a break sounds simple, but for many neurodivergent people it isn’t. Breaks involve planning, transitions, and executive functioning before, during, and after the time off. If you’ve ever felt more unsettled than rested, this piece explores why breaks often go sideways - and how thinking about them in phases can make rest feel more supportive and manageable.
How to Get Back on Track!
Been away, off-routine, or just feeling a bit lost? Getting back on track isn’t about punishment or perfect schedules- it’s about reconnecting with what you were doing, what you wanted and how you were doing it. In this post, we explore a kinder reset using a snappy acronym ARIRA and The 5 Daily Pillars to help you rebuild balance, one small, realistic step at a time.
ADHD Awareness Month: The Many Faces of ADHD
October is ADHD Awareness Month- a time to raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the many ways ADHD shows up in everyday life. ADHD isn’t only about distractibility or hyperactivity; it can be everything from tearing open cereal boxes with brute force to needing a “sleep entourage” just to rest. In this post I share some of the lesser-known ways ADHD shows up, plus online events and resources for ADHD musicians, writers, women, and Bristol community.
