Higher ed friends: students are hit with a lot of rules, deadlines, and policies when classes started. Reminders don't mean they aren't taking college seriously. Your ADHD students will appreciate the reminders and I'm guessing they won't be the only ones. Extend some grace these first few weeks!

It's really interesting when you get accommodations letters for disabled students and you can say to them (and yourself), "All of these are already addressed in my course for all students because I run an accessible classroom."
Just sayin!

This is a public health failure. Again.
The public health emergency (which provided funding) was rescinded with Biden saying “we have the tools” to manage COVID. But the tools are inaccessible. Vaccines are expensive. Masks are being banned.
Support & get mutual aid, including free n95s and tests:

This is story is one of the nearly 200 (that we know about) of cops exploiting young people they encounter through the "Explorer" program. The program is supposed to foster an interest in policing in young people, but the cops are using it to recruit victims.

Enraging and exhausting. I hate it here.
Today's reminder that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it does not automatically bend toward justice. While there are many people working to advance equity and justice, there are equally powerful forces working toward the opposite.

I'm glad this little tip resonated with lots of people.
I do want to clarify a couple of things.
1) I meant this tip for people who actually have ADHD. Not in that way that people sometimes use it informally to just talk about forgetting or being a little scatterbrained.

ADHD protip. You know how you get a notification 10 minutes before your meeting? You should probably add another one for 1 minute before the meeting. Some of us know it takes way less than 10 minutes to get distracted and end up being late. The second 1 minute notif means "no for real, right now" 😅

How do you organize your sources?
Mine were a hot mess until I discovered citation management software in grad school (back when Mendely was good). Now that it's not, what systems/software do you use?

#ADHD students, there are a whole bunch of formal accommodations that can help you, even in classes without exams. Don't assume test accommodations are it in higher ed.
See this table of potential accommodations by type and how each may be useful:

I think “twice exceptional” created because too many people thought someone who was a strong reader or good student couldn’t have ADHD or some other learning issue. So many people denied ADHD diagnosis because they were in college! But, yes, people have made it very weird.
