BOOK STUFF | The Effects of Systems (Patreon)
Content
Hello Brains!
I'm in the final-final crunch for what I can add to the book! And I need help with your stories one more time!
It's about systemic issues, and what often gets in our way and thus makes our ADHD life even harder.
For context, here is the paragraph just before where we're going to add quotes:
Systemic issues are a lot of what was getting in my way, and they continued to get in my way. They were the reason why I even needed half the tools I was using…and I was not alone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I'm asking of you...
What systemic issues are you running into that make you even need your ADHD tools?
What systemic issues do you run into when you're trying to ACCESS or USE your ADHD tools?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING...
- Do we have your consent to use this?
- Do we have your consent to edit the quote for size?
- We quote using name, age, and location; what name, age, and location would you like us to use? (You can choose a different name and age if you'd like to protect your privacy! And location you can make it as broad as your country, or as narrow as your state/province, if you're comfortable sharing at all. If you aren't comfortable there, no worries!)

If you have any questions let us know!
Thank you so much everyone!! Your stories have been incredible to read through all of this. ♥
(Here are some examples!:
Trying to get a refill of your meds, so you have to use a lot of reminders to try and stay on top of it, and <insert tools to help with making phone calls>. Is one where a system required tools to use.
Then work bureaucracy around accommodations could be an example of when systemic problems got in the way of you getting support or tools.
But it can be for any system. Work. School. Government systems, even.
Like in school... we have to find tools to be able to sit still instead of being allowed to just wander around the room while the teacher talks, and writing notes on our phone.
Systems is left intentionally bored, however, to cover various levels of systems and systemic issues.)
