42. Evidence-Based ADHD Strategies: Effective and Reliable Methods with Claire Britton
Manage episode 449632499 series 3549378
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- Outdated or non-neurodiversity-affirming approaches to be cautious about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!
