Saskia - Kritisch & Creatief

If you have ADHD kids, forget “hide and go seek.” Teach them games like “figure out where this goes and then keep it there!” 😆 MUCH more helpful life skill Signed, someone who has had to run home 3 times because she can’t remember what is there and what is at the office

Where did you first get the idea that the only acceptable version of yourself is one that involves essentially…not having #ADHD? I’ll go first The lost and found box walk of shame

@samdylanfinch I agree! It's very disrespectful.

@Critique_Create . . . it's not that I'm trying to amass tons of likes, it's that I'm sharing something personal with the hopes of supporting others, and when it's personal like this, it feels so disrespectful to take it but erase the human that experienced it and articulated the struggle!

I wish this tweet weren’t plagiarized *constantly.* I wish people understood that my personal experience and struggle is not their quick avenue to internet clout. It hurts, especially from folks who claim to have shared lived experience and should know better.

🧵My best friend (Black woman) & I were pregnant at the same time 18 yrs ago. We both had preeclampsia, hers undiagnosed as her symptoms were written off. I was put on bed rest & hospitalized. She was told to relax. A week after she gave birth, the day my son was born, she died.

@HowtoADHD I love this technique too

Ok this is kind of brilliant…I have a bunch of audible credits I haven’t used yet brb 😂

For the people in the back...

Deze week vier ik mijn 2e verlongdag lieve mensen. Wie had nou gedacht dat ik hier nog gewoon rond zou dartelen. Liefde voor mijn donor en zijn/haar nabestaanden. Ik zorg echt zo goed mogelijk voor dit grote cadeau. #longtransplantatie #worddonor

October is also ADHD awareness month. So, let's talk about it... I'm going to start with ADD, since I think a lot of people still think ADD is a diagnosis... \1

ADHDers often feel like we “should” be able to do something because ✨ we’ve done it before ✨ or that our difficulty with focus/productivity isn’t a real disability b/c sometimes we can do it just fine. GUYS. LADIES. GENTLETHEMS. THAT IS THE DISABILITY. The INCONSISTENCY.

@ask_aubry I'd hand it to the police with the full story and ask them to put it in a squad car!

Where would you put it?

@MrEncouragement @ginnyhogan_ That is the exact point she is making, sir.

@ginnyhogan_ A never-married 25-year-old woman has way different attitudes about life than a never-married 32-year-old woman … you get that, right?

@bschlenker People overfocussed on a few elements of game design that can turn quite toxic when implemented by themselves because they encourage competition and not necessarily encourage learning, engagement and exploration for its own sake. Like awarding points and leader boards.

Looks like #gamification had it's "wave" 2010-2013 and it's been on the slow decline ever since. What happened?

@agileschools Tokyo has an anti-procrastination cafe?

Is there a workshop or retreat where people lock you in a room and force you to write?

@HowtoADHD @taylortunetracy Oh 🙏 As a learning designer I'd love an advance copy to test!

@taylortunetracy Oo yes I’m actually working with a cognitive scientist on a rubric to help determine if something is ADHD friendly — it’s a separate tool from the book (and free!) but I can definitely mention it. It’s in Beta still but I’m happy to share if you’d like to try it out :)

I have been writing my book for a year. I am close to done. And I JUST realized I forgot to include a really important chapter. …How to Remember Stuff. Help me convince my editor I need to include it 😂

@NS_online Hoe komt het dat bij een trein naar Zuid Frankrijk 9 van de 10 opties zijn voorzien van het predikaat "alleen dienstregeling, niet te boeken" Hoe krijg ik een kaartje voor die treinen dan?

Not only is it possible to have ADHD even if you got good grades in school, but it's likely you’ll suffer longer without support or treatment because the people in your life assume that anyone who is smart can't suffer from ADHD.

@Death_Bow Absolutly. And if you were VERY lucky your parents bought you and IKEA starter kit for the kitchen

@johngreen Before you go, thank you for writing some of my favorite books of all time! Is there anywhere else we can find updates from you in the future? Another social media? Newsletter? Carrier pigeon? Screaming into the ether at the same time?
