February 2023

What does inclusive education mean to you?

Something I am very passionate about is actual inclusive education, and I’ve written quite a few articles on the subject. February is inclusive education month in Canada and frankly, we’ve done a terrible job of it.

I want to bring together diverse perspectives and experiences to contribute to increasing awareness about exclusion and seclusion in public education.

I particularly want to highlight the experiences and perspectives of marginalized groups. If you’re a neurodivergent or disabled student — any kind of disability or difference which impacts your schooling — I particularly want to share what inclusive education means to you.

February 2022

Neurodiversified welcomed three new writers this month, and had a very busy start to 2022 with 21 stories published in January (so far).

Relationships

How has your relationship changed since becoming parents? This relationship can be with anyone who helps you raise your child, they do not have to be a romantic partner.

Your partner can be a co-parent, a family-member or close friend who is a parent figure in your child’s life. They can be a romantic partner, an ex-partner who is still in yours and your child’s life, anyone you feel is an important part of making your family what it is.

How has your relationship with that person — or those people — changed since taking on the role of caregivers?

Inclusion

What does inclusion mean to you? Your stories can focus on inclusive post-secondary institutions, workplaces, or communities in general. Whatever is most relevant and meaningful to your life.

January 2022

Memories

Memories are a funny thing. There has been some cool research done over the past decade helping us to better understand how our memories work. Some of the most significant findings have demonstrated how fallible our memories really are.

Tell us about one of your favourite or most life-changing memories from the past year or two.

Cost-benefit analysis

Are you a risk-taker? Impulsive? Do you tend to play it safe, evaluating as many factors as possible before moving forward?

Tell us about a time you took a big risk. Did it pay off? Did you regret it? What might you have done differently if you had a do-over? How does your neurodivergence influence your decision-making?

Goals & reflections

What writing goals do you have for 2022? Tell us about them!

Did you make any new year’s resolutions? If so, have you kept them so far?

What 2021 achievement(s) are you proud of?

What are you grateful for?

Compliments & coping skills

What is the best compliment you’ve ever gotten? Tell us what it was, who said it to you, and when. Why was it so meaningful to you?

What are your most effective coping tools and strategies for when you start feeling overwhelmed or dysregulated? I shared some of mine in another recent piece about keeping our cool with our kids when they get worked up.

December 2021

Talk to me about stimming

What are your favourite happy stims? How do you embrace your own, or your child’s, self-soothing and enjoyable stims? How do you normalize stimming? What are the benefits of stimming, how do they help you or your child? Why are they important?

And so on!

Note: Stimming is something that everyone does, but often neurodivergent people use stimming as a self-regulation strategy more often, and perhaps more obviously, than neurotypicals.

This prompt isn’t specific to ADHD stimming, it’s aimed at any neurodivergent writers, or parents of neurodivergent people, who embrace stimming.

November 2021

Write about how different you were five or 10 years ago, as compared to now.

October 2021

ADHD Awareness Month

What do you wish someone had told you about ADHD when you, or your child, were first diagnosed?
