In this video, for SAGE’s Disability Studies Collection, I talk about my project ‘ADHD Women: Resisting a Neuronormative World’. (Click here for the video on SAGE’s website.)
When: The video was recorded at the 2024 Critical Disability Studies conference, Leeds (5 Sep 2024).
Duration: 23min and 40sec, with transcription
Topics I talk about:
- what the research is about
- what happened in the research – and the importance of making it ADHD-affirmative
- the importance of an intersectional approach
- the injustices and inequalities that ADHD women and AFAB non-binary ADHDers experience
- some takeaways from the survey and conversations: ADHD resilience, the importance of an ADHD-affirmative environment, relations, connections
- what knowledge of ADHDness is currently available to us – and what knowledge is absent
- the medical/individual model of ADHD and the individualisation, pathologisation and depoliticisation of ADHDers and ADHDness
- what I’d want others to know about my research and about ADHD Studies
- some critical thoughts on RSD (I realise that the D in RSD should be dysphoria and not disorder, but in my mind it keeps on popping up as disorder 🤷♂️)
- some thoughts too on ADHD joy and the importance of centring ADHDness in experiencing, seeing and making sense of the world
📜 I am about to submit a few papers – ‘Tangents’ – that cover some of the topics that I discuss in the video 🙂
