Kids with Autism & ADHD Face Extra Toxin Risk

Just learned that kids with autism or ADHD don’t clear out plastic chemicals like BPA as well as other kids. Their bodies hang onto these pollutants longer, which could mean more risk during brain development. It doesn’t mean BPA causes these conditions, but it’s a big heads-up for parents and anyone worried about what’s in our food and packaging. Time to rethink those plastic containers and receipts! #AutismAwareness #ADHDAwareness #Toxins #Health #BodyHealth

When Trust is Broken: My Teen Sold My ADHD Medication

I never imagined I’d be in this situation—my own teenager took my ADHD meds and sold them. I’m still in shock, feeling betrayed and worried about what this means for our relationship and their future. I keep replaying the moment I realized the pills were gone, wondering where I went wrong and how to even begin rebuilding trust. Parenting teens is hard enough, but facing something like this leaves me feeling lost and alone. If you’ve ever dealt with a similar betrayal or have advice on how to move forward, I’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you start healing after something like this?

How Standing Up for Myself Changed My Life and Relationships

OK, so from a much better place now, I’m 25 and have ADHD. One of my biggest struggles has always been standing up for myself and setting boundaries. Before I got medicated, I’d often forgive people who didn’t deserve it because I’d forget the hurtful things they did. Since starting medication, my memory’s improved, and I can finally recognize disrespect in the moment. Now, I respond right away and set boundaries, even if it means some people call me rude. Healing and self-awareness have made me stronger and more confident. Have you noticed a shift in your relationships after setting boundaries?

26 and Starting Over: Workplace Struggles After Academic Failure 😓

I’m 26 and honestly, I feel like I’m drowning at work. My past is full of academic setbacks—I failed out of university after struggling with ADHD and social anxiety. I always felt out of place, especially being shorter than most guys, and I was constantly mocked. That made me an introvert, and I still find it hard to connect with colleagues or even ask for help at work. Now, I’m working to save up for another shot at university, but every day at the office reminds me of my failures. I can’t seem to build relationships with coworkers, and I worry I’m too old to start over. My confidence is shot, and my parents never believed in me, which still hurts. I’m scared I’ll mess up again, but I want to try for a STEM degree and a better future. Has anyone else felt this lost at work or struggled to start over? I’d really appreciate any advice or encouragement. 🙏 #CareerRestart #WorkplaceStruggles #ADHDAwareness #JobCareer

Why I Had to Accept I’ll Never Drive—And What I’m Doing Instead

Coming to terms with not driving has been tough. I just don’t have the attention, patience, or spatial awareness for it, and honestly, the thought of getting behind the wheel fills me with dread. Living in the suburbs, relying on my parents for rides is embarrassing, but risking someone’s safety isn’t worth it. After years of anxiety and even an ADHD diagnosis, I still panic just thinking about driving. Now, I’m focusing on finding remote work and exploring city living where driving isn’t a must. If you’re in the same boat, know you’re not alone. What’s your experience been like? Drop your thoughts below! #MentalHealthJourney #ADHDAwareness #LifeWithoutDriving #Cars
