ADHD, Autism, mental health // culture shift

1. Massive rise in late diagnoses. 

2. More and more people willing to introspect, learn about neurodivergence and self diagnose or search for assessors in their area. 

3. More people okay with getting on and recommending medication to help with their inattention, hyperactivity, focus, etc. 

4. More people willing to consider possibility of consistently poor mental health linked to an undiscovered disability or neurodivergence. 

5. More people seeing it as less of a ‘problem’ with their personalities but rather a disconnect with how our system favours only a small percentage of us. And that the boundaries that define that small percentage are continually narrowing. 

6. More people recognising how much of themselves they’ve been closeting to appear as one among that small percentage of people who the system pushes. 

7. How the system itself is quite dynamic in that it puts up a fight at first but bends if pushed hard enough. 

8. How more of us need to band up to push the system hard enough. 

9. More people slowly realising it might be okay to talk. That everyone has a voice, and that it might not be heard on every platform, but that if you look hard enough, there's a platform for every voice.
