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!
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.
Thanks Kate for your summary from Sarah’s lecture on adhd. The AI reader is actually listener friendly for those ADHDer’s who can’t sit still to read😂 I’m looking forward to reading/ listening to more.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad this is encouraging. Thanks for letting me know 🙂

Oh no! It’s working on mine and I’ve checked with others and it’s working for them. How strange, I’m sorry.
I’ll try pasting them here, I hope it works. Otherwise try searching “MHPCI ADHD” and it should come up… 😬
