Did you know I've done dyslexia assessments for NASA? 🚀
These are just some of the other organisations I've assessed for over the last 14 years.

ADHD Paralysis- Part 3
Choice Paralysis

Also known as Analysis Paralysis, Choice Paralysis happens when you face too many options and your brain over-analyses every detail out of fear of making the wrong choice.

* Need to book a hotel in a resort but there are too many options.
* Opened a text/email and you don't know how to respond to it.
* Comparing several versions of the item, reading the reviews and worrying you are going to buy the wrong one.

Choice Paralysis is more than indecisiveness, the ADHD brain is struggling to filter and prioritise information. This is often in addition to the fear of making a mistake.

Being aware of this, and putting self imposed limitations in place can help to reduce this overload and make the decision making process a smaller cognitive burden.

ADHD Paralysis- Part 2
Mental Paralysis

ADHD Mental Paralysis is a state of cognitive freeze where the brain becomes completely overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions or the environment making you unable to think clearly, speak or take action. All this can happen at once.

* Feeling overwhelmed by an upcoming deadline.
* Got a new job offer and you start on Monday.
* Your beloved pet has died.

There may be a mixture of thoughts and emotions which are hard to verbalise. Your brain feels foggy and you can't find the words to express what you want to say. It's hard to mentally sort through those feelings and work out what you need to do. You may have even received emails and text messages at once and feel stuck and unable to respond.

Changing the environment, reducing sensory input (such as putting headphones on) and journalling are all strategies that can be used to help deal with Mental Paralysis.

ADHD Paralysis - Part 1
Task Paralysis

Also known as ADHD shutdown, ADHD Task Paralysis happens when someone needs to start something and despite its urgency, they feel stuck mentally and physically.

* Can't start that essay.
* Need to tidy the house.
* Got to fill in that form.

When someone with ADHD is faced with a task that's often boring, complex or will involve a lot of thought and concentration, they will freeze. This results in procrastination or physically feeling rooted to the spot, unable to start the task despite others saying "you just need to do it!"

Others may see this as laziness but the ADHD brain is wrestling with a mixture of emotions including shame and guilt. But this is not their fault, this is how the ADHD brain is wired.

Understanding why this happens and what's going on for that individual is the first step to developing some strategies to help overcome Task Paralysis.

Reading difficulties aren't just a dyslexic thing. People with ADHD can find reading hard because of concentration problems and a mind that wanders. This leads to having to re-read the text (often more than once!) to help absorb and remember that information.

Autism didn't suddenly appear in 1930.
Autistic people existed long before autism was formally recognised and diagnosed.
The language, understanding and diagnostic criteria have changed over time which is one reason why many adults today are only discovering that they are autistic later in life.
And yes… Pluto was there the whole time too. 😂 🌌

Found it so interesting talking to Tahamene about her experiences of neurodiversity and being from the Caribbean.

ADHD and Autism frequently occur together, sharing some traits (such as hyperfocusing) but others conflict (such as routine). Although not an official diagnostic term, AuDHD is commonly used to describe these co-occurring conditions.
