23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

I think some people love showering.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

I love taking baths, for example.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

I try and have at least three, four baths a week.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

It's my total comfort zone where I enjoy spending time.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

It's great.

ADHD Chatter

Light a candle, lower the lights.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

For some people, it will work.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

For some people, it doesn't.

ADHD Chatter

Give a non-answer.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

So what I mean by that, if someone asks something of your time, for example, do you want to go for dinner tonight?

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

Or do you want to go for lunch in an hour?

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

Or can you walk my dog tomorrow?

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

Rather than say yes straight away, I think it's the knee-jerk reaction for many people.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

Give a non-answer that gives you more time to think about what you really want to do.

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

Because I think so many people have this kind of

ADHD Chatter
23 AuDHD Accommodations You Don't Know About (But REALLY Need)

internalized masked response when people ask something of them and they jump to yes when you can give a non answer which could be can i let you know tomorrow i'm not comfortable with
