How I Made Peace With Not Doing Everything Alone 💬💻

Everyone on here glamorizes the grind, but let’s talk about something that’s not aesthetic: CIPD assignment stress. The kind that creeps in at midnight when you’re behind on 5CO03 or that feeling of dread when you hear “formative assessment.”

Being a full-time professional and still trying to stay academically sharp is HARD. Especially now, with everyone talking about neurodivergence awareness, productivity shame, and how capitalism glorifies burnout.

I decided to stop trying to be a superhero and got help from CIPD Assignment Help. They actually know the units, assessment criteria, and structure CIPD expects—so it’s not just general writing help. It’s relevant, specific, and honestly, a huge relief.

This isn’t cheating. It’s self-preservation. And for anyone out here juggling HR roles, family, and school — I see you. Don’t let shame stop you from getting support.

You’re not lazy. You’re overwhelmed. And that’s valid. 💗

Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child During Wildfires: Strategies & Resources from The Help Group

I hope you and your loved ones are safe during this challenging time. In light of the ongoing wildfires, I’d like to share some helpful strategies and resources from The Help Group to support your neurodivergent child through this crisis:

1. Plan Ahead & Stay Organized: Collaborate with your child to create a clear, simple emergency plan. Use visual aids to help them understand and follow the steps, and practice evacuation drills to ensure they feel prepared.

2. Mind Sensory Needs: Be mindful of your child’s sensory sensitivities. Offer noise-canceling headphones, an air purifier, or comforting sensory items to help them stay grounded and calm.

3. Provide Emotional Reassurance: Use language your child can easily understand, minimize exposure to distressing news, and maintain familiar routines to provide a sense of stability and comfort.

4. Foster Safety & Familiarity: If evacuation is necessary, pack familiar items such as blankets, favorite toys, or sensory tools. Create a quiet, soothing space with soft lighting and calming activities to help your child feel secure, whether at home or in an emergency shelter.

5. Promote Supportive Connections: Ensure a trusted adult is nearby to provide comfort and reassurance. Continue to use familiar coping strategies that help your child regain a sense of calm and control.

6. Prepare for Health & Therapy Needs: Keep essential medical supplies and medications accessible. Reach out to your child’s therapist for additional strategies or virtual support options during this time.

7. Lead with Calmness & Compassion: You can help your child feel more secure by staying calm. Remember to care for yourself as well - reach out for support and take moments to recharge.

8. After the Crisis: Once things start to settle, quickly and gently reestablish normal routines. Give your child time to process their emotions, offer outlets for them to express their feelings, and be mindful of any signs of increased anxiety or behavioral changes.

For additional support, consider connecting with other families of neurodivergent children and utilizing crisis services. The Help Group offers a parent support group to help you through this difficult time. You can join their virtual sessions by reaching out to clechner@thehelpgroup.org.

Access The Help Group's full list of strategies here.

Additionally, the Faces of Health app is an excellent resource, offering practical coping strategies, resources for managing stress, and tools to help you and your child feel safe and grounded. Learn more here.

Embrace Neurodiversity: Strategies for Supporting Neurodiverse Employees

Embracing neurodiversity means accepting and celebrating the natural variations in human brain function and cognitive styles. This concept recognizes that neurological differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others are not deficits or disorders, but rather valuable aspects of human diversity.

Buy now:19.95$

The neurodiversity paradigm shifts away from the traditional medical model that seeks to "cure" or "fix" these differences. Instead, it promotes the idea that these varied neurological conditions offer unique strengths and perspectives that contribute to the richness of human experience and innovation.

By embracing neurodiversity, we create a more inclusive society that values different ways of thinking, learning, and problem-solving. This approach can lead to more effective educational strategies, workplace accommodations, and social interactions that allow neurodivergent individuals to thrive.

Buy now

Embracing neurodiversity also fosters self-acceptance and empowerment among neurodivergent individuals, encouraging them to leverage their unique cognitive abilities rather than trying to conform to neurotypical standards.

This perspective benefits not only neurodivergent individuals but society as a whole, as it taps into a broader range of human potential and creativity, leading to new insights and innovations across various fields.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and autism are two distinct neurodevelopmental conditions that can sometimes co-occur or share similar traits, leading to potential confusion or misdiagnosis.

ADHD is characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning and development. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with focus, organization, and impulse control.

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), involves challenges in social communication and interaction, along with restricted or repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities. Autistic individuals may have difficulty understanding social cues and may exhibit intense focus on specific topics.

Buy now

While these conditions are separate, they can coexist in some individuals. Both ADHD and autism are considered forms of neurodiversity, recognizing that these neurological differences are natural variations in human cognition rather than deficits to be "cured."

ASD Awareness Month Brain refers to April, designated as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Awareness Month. This observance focuses on increasing understanding and acceptance of the unique way autistic brains function. During this month, efforts are made to educate the public about the diverse experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum.

Buy now

The concept of the "ASD brain" highlights the neurological differences that characterize autism, including variations in sensory processing, social communication, and cognitive patterns. Activities during this month often emphasize the strengths associated with autistic thinking, such as attention to detail, pattern recognition, and unique problem-solving approaches.

This awareness initiative aims to foster a more inclusive society that values neurodiversity and supports autistic individuals.

In this video, we explore the top 5 reasons why online counseling is superior to traditional in-person therapy sessions, especially for neurodivergent clients. Discover how virtual therapy allows individuals to show up as their true selves, free from the sensory overload or stress of a therapist’s office. From the comfort of your home, where you’re surrounded by the tools and environment that help you feel at ease, online therapy creates a more open, honest, and productive psychotherapy experience. For those who struggle with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent conditions, this flexible approach can lead to deeper connections with therapists and greater self-expression. Tune in to learn why making the switch to online mental health support could be life-changing!

Anonymous said to neurodivergentsupport: hey so, pls help; im not sure if i have DID or not? i dont think i have severe childhood trauma, and my headmate hasnt been with me that long. I wasnt multiple until like a year and a half ago (im 16 now for reference.) we're not even sure how he got there, and we dont remember any kind of first contact, he just kind of wasnt there and then a month later he was a normal part of life. he believes he was reincarnated into this body with me after dying in a past life. (1/2) All i remember was that it took a while for us to "peel apart" our separate consciousness? basically, it took a while before we stopped getting confused about whose thoughts were whose. Now, we are distinctly separate but we still have full access to one another's thoughts. Steven (my hm) spends most of his time sleeping or half-conscious, and fronting makes him very tired. basically what im asking here is this: do i have DID? if not, then what? where did steven come from? (2/2) thanks

Hey anon! I’ll have to preface this by saying that I don’t have any headmates/alters so I’m not 100% sure about what it’s like to be (part of) a system. However, I do know that DID is usually only diagnosed if there is dissociative amnesia--basically, when you’re not fronting, you don’t have any memories of that time period--and when there are two or more fully seperate alters. If one or both of those criteria aren’t met, you can still qualify for a diagnosis of OSDD (otherwise specified dissociative disorder) which is applicable if you have facets, alters, or headmates but don’t fit all the criteria for DID. Also, I think BPD can include alters in its presentation but I’m not sure if that’s because it’s often comorbid with DID or OSDD or if it’s a part of being borderline in and of itself. Also, I think it’s possible to be a system without having experienced trauma, but also I think that it might be possible that someone could experience trauma and their mind repressed the memory, or they downplayed it as being ‘not traumatic enough’ or are in denial. Of course I have no way of knowing if that is the case for you, but i thought it might be worth mentioning. From what (admittedly limited) knowledge I have on system formation, what you described (’peeling apart’, confusion, co-conciousness) is relatively common in the formation of new headmates. As far as where Steven came from, medical models explain being a system as a dissociation and compartmentalization of memories, experiences, and personality traits, forming an entirely different consciousness (personality/alter/headmate) from the host. If you’re looking for a more metaphysical answer, I’m probably not the right person to ask, I’m not a spiritual or religious person in the slightest. What’s most important with regards to that is, what makes the most sense and brings the most happiness to you and Steven? there is no right or wrong answer apart from something that is actively harmful. As a psychotic, I’m no stranger to beliefs that most people don’t understand (including myself, most of the time), so basically anything that isn’t harmful is just as valid as anything else--it’s just a way of trying to make sense out of chaos.

The most important thing with any neurodivergence is arguably how you deal with it. It seems like you and Steven have built up a rapport, so that's good! Keep an open dialogue about everything relevant to this stuff so you can decide how to proceed from here. It’s possible that more headmates will emerge over time so it’s important to keep each other well-informed and have a system (ha!) in place for that. If you want to assimilate, that’s a valid option, and if you want to stay a system, that’s another valid option. I’ve heard of systems that will delegate tasks based on individual strengths and preferences, so that could be handy. Have each other’s backs (ha!) you’re in this together! <3 I love you and you’re valid!

Since that’s about the extent of my knowledge on systems and DID, I recommend getting in touch with dissociative-specific blogs and doing some research to try to get a clearer understanding of what’s going on. Also, any followers want to help? Other mods? Reply, ask, or comment!

(note: im not a system/part of a system, so if i get anything wrong or said something offensive please let me know!!! i don’t want to speak over anyone or say something problematic.)
