OH: Oh! Your thinking here has excited me so much! I love knowing now about new ways of talking about how communities do and don't -- and can --accommodate particular neurodiversities! You're amazing. I'm thrilled!
I think you'd love Rebecca Schiller's book A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention: Discovering the Beauty of My ADHD Mind. I think she's as brilliant as you are.
It's funny I just looked at the little summary of the book setting the stage of Rebecca Schiller moving to the country expecting an idyllic existence. In my first little while at Frog Farm my ADHD went nuts - every time a new thing that needed to be done or attended to caught my eye I'd get completely derailed until I was derailed anew by the next thing. And I had expected the opposite! But I had to work really hard to find tricks to sequence chores so I wouldn't be constantly squirelling off mid-stream. It drove my son Gareth nuts.
Thank you. As someone who is almost certainly ADHD herself, I have typically skimmed this but managed to hold onto some of the ideas and beautiful images. I will read more, I promise, but I just wanted to say hi. Richard gave me the link to your substack. I have subscribed. I have a substack, too, mostly about my creative writing but also my DMT work. I gave Richard the paper he recently shared with you, which in turn came to me from a wonderful colleague with whom I share Authentic Movement practice. I also have run mother-baby DMT groups in the past, and I write... lots to discuss.
Great to 'meet' you! I've just subscribed to your substack and really look forward to reading it and following your. And I loved the paper Richard shared!
