In today’s episode, I welcome back Claire Britton, a neurodivergent OT with a wealth of experience supporting ADHD and neurodivergent families. Claire brings a unique, practical perspective on managing ADHD - think habit-stacking, body doubling, and dopamine menus! She shares insights on evidence-backed strategies that have helped her clients and breaks down why some popular approaches might not be the best fit for everyone.

Claire and I also explore her thoughts on:

  • Building ADHD-friendly routines that are easier to stick to
  • Why neurodiversity-affirming strategies can make a difference in day-to-day life
  • The difference between "shoulds" and "coulds"
  • Outdated or non-neurodiversity-affirming approaches to be cautious about
  • The role of perfectionism and how it impacts parents’ self-compassion
  • Strategies for being honest about your needs to avoid social exhaustion
  • Neurodivergent communication styles, like the “dramatic” expression of emotions
  • Double empathy: understanding neurotypical vs. neurodivergent communication
  • The challenges and benefits of unmasking emotions
  • How society’s expectations can shape ADHD experiences, especially for children and women
  • Creating a versatile “toolbox” of ADHD strategies, customised to individual needs, with an emphasis on flexibility over rigid rules

If you’re looking for fresh ideas or just a conversation that makes you feel seen, Claire’s perspective might just give you a few tools and insights to explore. I enjoyed chatting with Claire again and hope you find some value here too!
