As a Christian ADHDer and occupational therapist working with neurodivergent people I am so encouraged to read of the increasing awareness of ADHD and neuro affirming people in the Christian community ☺️Thank you for sharing!

Hi Kate, I'm glad to have found your blog.

I'm pretty sure I have ADHD myself. My brother was diagnosed as an adult a number of years ago, and my teenage daughters were diagnosed over the last couple of years. I have a referral to see a Psychiatrist and am procrastinating making my appointment (!)

I am currently doing an MDiv at Ridley College and I did a spiritual formation subject last semester that involved learning about practical theology and the action-reflection model. I became acutely aware of how my brain gets in the way of spiritual disciplines as we understand them in our culture. I did a small amount of research to see if there were any resources about this and came up with one Christianity Today article. I found you today through the MH+PC website. I had bought tickets to the ADHD event to watch the seminar online and then never watched it before the deadline- like I said I'm pretty sure I have ADHD! I look forward to reading your work! If you have any recommendations, around resources or research into ADHD and spiritual disciplines, I'd be grateful.
