How To Swede: Your ADHD Bestie :
If you are talking to me and I look directly in your eyes, chances are I’m not listening to a word you’re saying. But if I’m looking away or around while you’re talking, I am listening- or at least trying my best to concentrate 💭

Dr. Melanie - Psychologist :
As a psychologist, clear communication can take away the pressure of guessing what someone means. Say what you need. Give one instruction at a time. Allow time for a response. Ask, “Would you prefer this written down?” Neurodivergent people have different preferences, so ask what works for the person. Keep your tone respectful. Clear language can still be adult language. Follow my page for more on communication and understanding different minds 🤍

that's the whole problem most people don't know how to communicate.... in a shorter sentence I still have to be very clear to the short sentence just like you saying.... not only do you have to listen you have to communicate and a particular way...😇👏

I feel this. 😊 Your son needs it repeated, and you need it once and quickly. Both are valid. That's the hard part of love, learning to speak in a way the other person can actually hear. You're doing a great job, even on the days it feels repetitive. Thank you for sharing this.

As an adult with ADHD and neurodivergent children, and as a speech language pathologist who has worked in the schools and in neurogenic rehabilitation, I applaud you for tackling this subject. Also, I will say that anything you do for neurodivergent kids in terms of clarifying a message helps all kids.

if I hear other noise I get to distracted and whatever I just heard but definitely whatever I just read totally forget. Even if I read it out loud I cannot tell you what I just read if I hear noise.

Clarity, short answers and repetition is key.

I know for me I've always struggled with suggestive communication, I communicate very directly and can be very literal. you say "I'll do it in a minute" I used to wait a minute.

As a parent of twins, both with autism and they are 30. Patience. Don’t force eye contact. Don’t raise your voice. If they are overwhelmed, provide a safe, calming place for them to cool down mentally. Always listen to what they say and most of all, what they do not say. If verbal is not working, write notes to each other! Take the time to write it out by hand on paper. It seems to mean more than a text. So glad this is having attention. Now, how can we educate our law officers, fire fighters and emergency personel?

I'm going to put our toys away and I'll have sometimes I'll have to say five or six times and he only hear that even though he was looking at me all the other times with the Virgin children you have to listen so carefully to what works with them because it's different for everybody what you can say in let me have jealous I'd love to no clothes and Hope Johnny can only use that

There is more travel time through the brain….so processing takes longer, therefore patience is key.

yes especially being autistic too some of these tick tock reels sometimes really irks me sometimes they don't get to the point sometimes they just babble until they get to the point and I just scroll past if I get something to get straight to the point I will watch it you're right on that part make it short and sweet just make it where I can understand it be Crystal clear direct communications all I ask

For kids, you gotta say their first and last name before you tell them they need to do something lol. I don’t know why this works, but that’s what my mom had to do with me and something just clicks in my brain.
