Neurodivergent?? You Are in The Right Place!
Welcome to the ADHD & Autism Action (AAA) group. A supportive coaching community to help people, and their loved ones, who struggle with ASD/ADHD. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1 in 54 (around 2%) children in the United States. A 2024 study found that 1 in 9 U.S. children (7 million kids) have received an ADHD diagnosis. And according to the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth, among children aged 1-17 who have ASD, 36.5% also had ADD/ADHD. Just in North America alone, there are over 1.5 million children with both Autism & ADHD combined. And yet, the support system is severely lacking and healthcare infrastructure is ill-prepared to help all these people. That is why I started this support group to spread education & awareness about ASD/ADHD. There are also free courses in the classroom section available for members of this community, starting from Level 1 and onwards. It is my hope that we can come together and help families that face daily challenges while living with Autism & ADHD.

Apps You Can Use to Manage ADHD
Here is a list of apps that you can use to manage your ADHD. I wanted to share with y'all some apps that can help you manage life with ADHD. Bitwarden ~ Keep track of all your passwords across all of your devices. FocusMe ~ This app works by making your “Monkey Mind” behave again. Hiatus ~ Hiatus keeps tabs on all your subscriptions and negotiates better deals on your bills. Tile ~ It sort of works like Apple AirTags, it's the same principle...keeps track of all your belongings so you don't lose your wallet or phone. Notion ~ You can use this to keep track of all of your tasks. FocusMate ~ Connects you to other people who have committed to being accountable for finishing their most important tasks. Excalidraw ~ Draw out all of your ideas in a way that feels very natural. Obsidian ~ A very useful notes tracking app. Finch ~ Daily self care so you can manage life stress. ForestApp ~ It grows a virtual tree when you can stay focused and tend to your garden. Let me know if I've missed any important apps. Also please add your suggestions in the comments to improve this listing. Thanks!

Anxiety-Management Technique
Is anxiety turning you into a human pretzel during big moments? Up to 50% of people with ADHD have an anxiety disorder. ADHD and anxiety are separate conditions, but they can often occur together. The challenges of ADHD can lead to frequent problems at home, work, and school, which can contribute to anxiety. Worry not...Here's a nifty trick to untangle those nerves and project confidence: - Inhale through your nose like you're sniffing the last cookie on earth for a cool 4 seconds. - Hold that breath in like you're trying to keep a secret for another 4 seconds. - Exhale slowly through your mouth, pretending you're blowing out birthday candles – take 4 seconds. - Hold again, (because we all need a break), for 4 more seconds. This little box of breath will chill your inner chaos, slow your heart-rate and sharpen your focus sharper than a razor blade. Do this before any big showdowns, and you will be ready to face the world with the calm of a Zen master and the confidence of a superhero.
