Victoria Pedretti recently came out with ADHD. We have public figures like Solange Knowles, Simone Biles, & Emma Watson. But I want to see positive representations of women with ADHD on screen. We're so much more than 'Ooh look a squirrel' or the stereotypical girly space cadet
Replying to @calicoboyle
Do we have any?

People with ADHD are so much more than the stigma & negative stereotypes they are tarnished with. We need more positive neurodivergent role models in mainstream media #teamadhd #adhdtwitter #ADHDAwarenessMonth #ADHDInvasion #NeurodiverseSquad teapawt.net/calicoboyle/status/132…

When I think about the inaccessibility of ADHD treatment in the UK I get so angry. ADHD isn’t just a little bit of distraction, it’s a neurodevelopment disorder that affects every single aspect of your life. People are being failed.

A valid question, what do you think #adhdtwitter?
Replying to @ZiaMoonWrites
It makes sense, I've also heard we were originally hunter gatherers due to our fast impulses & hyperfocus so nocturnal brain activity would be beneficial. It also begs the question; is ADHD a disorder or a symptom of existing in a neurotypical society🤔
Really fascinating podcast from our sister Sarah Crutwell, all about sexuality and disability, made as a commission for the epic @disconsortia - well worth a listen! disconsortia.co.uk/sarah-cru…

The government may not think the arts are worth their support, but the support of arts activities is invaluable to everyone. We have gained *more* sisters over lockdown - here's @calicoboyle telling us what TWP has meant for her wellbeing.
