I'm so excited! My daughter is a year and a half old. I'm trying to not think too hard about whether or not she'll get an ADHD diagnosis one day, but I find that I'm constantly remembering my childhood and the things that have been part of my ADHD story. I don't want her to face any of the criticism I did or be caught off guard or surprised by the unique struggles I remember being discouraging. Is this the kind of thing that will be talked about at this event? Also, if you don't mind me doing things out of order, how are you, Jessica, thinking about parenting and ADHD with a newborn?

I visited the website of the hosting entity, and there are a few things that give me pause about them. First, I don’t like the “behavioral management training” label they put on what they’re selling to parents. ADHD is not a behavioral condition (it’s neurodevelopmental), and any approach that sees ADHD traits (including meltdowns) as behavioral is inherently flawed. (And they can cite vague AAP recommendations all they like, but the AAP also endorses abusive quackery like applied behavior analysis, so, “The AAP recommends this,” is not the flex they think it is.) I also don’t like the language they use in general on some parts of the site, like “early intervention” (which suggests that neurodivergent kids are both broken and lacking agency) and “complex kids” (which comes off to me as a condescending way of referring to kids with many co-occurring neurotypes). I’m also very wary of “coaching” culture in general. I think there is a legitimate need for people with lived and professional experience to help guide neurodivergent people and those around us to a place where we can thrive and access the supports and accommodations we need. However, I think everyone and their uncle sees this largely unfulfilled need as an opportunity to slap together a patented and trademarked package they can sell to people desperate for help. Their website, in general, seems much more geared toward encouraging people to sign up for paid training packages (and mailing lists that probably heavily advertise those training packages) than it does with providing easily accessible supportive resources. There’s nothing wrong with making a living helping the neurodivergent community, but most of the site’s resources being paywalled is a red flag. I’m sure your presentation will be extremely helpful to those tuning into the conference. Just be careful not to assume that everyone who claims to want to help (including our fellow ADHDers) actually has the community’s best interests in mind (as opposed to their own financial interests).
