🧡💚💙 High-functioning ADHD isn’t a formal diagnosis.It is a term that describes individuals who manage to lead successful, productive lives despite the challenges posed by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

If you’re experiencing high-functioning ADHD, you’re still living with ADHD.

High-functioning ADHD could mean:

* you experience severe symptoms but have developed coping mechanisms and strategies to carry on with daily tasks and responsibilities
* your symptoms are mild, and you’re able to function with minimal impairment
* symptoms are greatly impairing in some areas but you’re highly functional in others

For all those who are deemed to be 'fine' because they internalise their issues. For all those whose good grades hide their struggles. For all those who don't get the support they so desperately need because they 'don't look autistic'. I see you and I hear you. And it's time to make a change!

People with contamination OCD may fear contamination from:

Real things, like viruses, bacteria, bodily waste, or toxic chemicals.

Magical things, like names, mental images, or specific locations.

People who appear ill or unclean.

Bad luck, or objects associated with bad events.

The fears associated with contamination OCD are often disproportionate to the realistic probabilities and expectations.

Rewatching a familiar show can be comforting and provide a sense of emotional regulation.

Taking your kid to an Autism assessment?
Let them know what’s going on.

It’s not a scary thing figuring out what kind of brain you have.
And it makes a lot of sense to do it.
How else would you know how to take care of it?

Start the conversation on the right foot.

Being Autistic is fine.
Being confused, isolated, and thinking you’re broken is not.

Yes?

Meetings, munchies, and milestones - that's Positive Futures' clinical crew's bi-monthly recipe! We tackle practice, performance, and NDIS updates, then celebrate staff birthdays and achievements. Yesterday's Halloween hoopla featured Cassie's too-cute crocheted creations - ghosts, zombees 🐝, and pumpkins - and a delicious share-a-plate feast.
