Neurodivergence doesn’t have a look and it’s time for us to stop making assumptions based on what we think we know, especially when it’s to do with someone’s own lived experience 🦋🫶🏾

Anodiwa is using social media to challenge misconceptions about ADHD and autism in her home country of Zimbabwe.

Studying BSc (Hons) Psychology with Developmental Disorders, @anodiwaaa launched her Instagram and TikTok accounts after noticing a lack of accessible information about developmental disorders.

Her message is simple: developmental differences are nothing to be ashamed of.

💬 “Developmental differences are just a part of human diversity. That’s what it is. That’s how you were born. It’s nothing big. It’s nothing bad.”

Her content has already resonated with people who were labelled “different” or “stupid” as children.

One of her cousins told her that her videos had changed the way he viewed ADHD and autism.

Anodiwa hopes to return to Zimbabwe and eventually establish a specialist school providing individualised support for children with developmental disorders.

And with her own recent ADHD diagnosis, she’s bringing both personal experience and her academic knowledge to the conversations she’s starting.

❤️ “I hope that the conversations I am starting now will continue long after I graduate.”

In honour of ADHD Awareness Month, I’ve decided to share my own personal ADHD experiences.☀️🌈🧠🫶🏾

The surface depiction of ADHD is cutesy, quirky and a lot of fun. The reality of it all is ADHD symptoms can ne inconvenient, frustrating, stressful and make you feel like you’re losing your mind a lot of the time. I hope that by sharing these experiences, you all see a side of ADHD from someone navigating life with it.🤍

We talk a LOT about inclusion, accommodations and supporting neurodivergent and disabled people — but did you know many of these conversations are also connected to actual legislation?👀

In my first lecture back, we started talking about legislation, and it got me thinking about the gap between what the law says should happen and what someone actually experiences in a classroom and this gap exists globally.

Zimbabwe has made important commitments around disability rights and inclusive education. But legislation is legislation and action is so much more only one part of the picture.

Because having rights on paper is one thing. Experiencing those rights is another. 🧠🤍

So let’s talk about it. 🌈

As a society we need to stop glorifying “long hours in the office”. If Covid confinement taught us anything is that those long hours are not necessary. Yet we have somehow gone back – yes, with a few changes – but back nevertheless.

This old school mentality that has crept into our generation of what hard work looks like, anything other than the rigid structures we’ve set up for ourselves and we’re slacking or we don’t feel like we’re doing enough and become riddled with imposter syndrome.

And while I mainly spoke about how this impacts neurodivergent individuals, it impacts everyone. People’s mental health is suffering at the cost of “looking productive in the workplace”, perceived productivity that is 😃.

As time passes, I hope that we shift into more supportive workplace settings, that glorify the outcomes more than the hours seen in the office☀️🙏🏾

How many people were told they were “just bad at maths” when they were actually struggling with something more?

Dyscalculia is one of the least recognised neurodevelopmental conditions, yet it can affect learning, confidence, and everyday life well into adulthood.

It affects 3% to 6% of the world’s population which roughly averages at least 1 child in a classroom of 30 students. It’s not as rare as one would think it is.

By building awareness, we validate people’s experiences—those who had diagnoses and those who didn’t. We help others understand better and employ empathy in how they navigate the world and the different people in it—elements important in providing the right kind of support.🤍🧠🌈

Share this with someone who struggles with numbers or someone that didn’t understand what that struggle could look like :)
