Establish communism. But these are a few things that would materially improve my life even under the current hell system, or would have improved my life:

• communal access to equipment required to try new hobbies, so I can homebrew a batch or two of beer and decide I'm done with it without having to buy kegs and gauges and stuff, then do a little woodworking without having to buy a table saw, then borrow some needles to see if I like knitting, instead of collecting all that shit in my little apartment and abandoning it after a few months

• remove the barriers required to get adhd medication, which are particularly hard to navigate when you have adhd and have run out of medication. Let me refill that shit, please don't make my mental health and functioning require making a bunch of phone calls every couple of months

• more education for neurotypicals about what adhd is and what the symptoms are

• better screening for school children, maybe even start with an anonymous screening questionnaire to reduce biases that cause ADHD to be underdiagnosed in women and people of color

• make subscription based billing required to give notice several days before you are rebilled unless you opt out

Now, I'm not saying we should be worshiped like gods, but I AM saying we should be left mostly to our own devices and given offerings of food in exchange for favors

1.) Establish communism

No but in all seriousness, I have no idea. Not penalizing lack of tidiness and neatness in school would be a good start. I can't even begin to tell how many assignments I was docked points on in like elementary and middle school for "not putting in effort" when in all reality I just couldn't make shit look nice.

Also include better mental health services because children with ADHD receive 20,000 more negative messages – from parents, peers, or otherwise, by the age of 10 and generally have much worse self esteems because of it (I know I did)

Also it's not really ADHD but it's commonly comorbid with ADHD so I'm gonna put it: accommodate for Delayed sleep phase disorder. I was royally fucked over by school times, it's a schedule I've learned I cannot work on. It also sucks now that I'm an adult and everything is tailored to those with regular sleep schedules when nothing knocks me out before at least 1 AM and a garage light a foot away from my head doesn't wake me up. At this point I'm considering living on the east coast and working remote on the west coast when I get out of college.

I'd also say better education on what ADHD is for neurotypicals. It's such BS that it's the hyper young boy disorder, when that's kinda not really it. It's hell, there's a laundry list of laundry lists of things that it affects and causes and is detrimental to you

and finally get people to stop thinking we're lazy or that ADHD doesn't exist or that Adderall is meth and we're all just druggies

I feel like xenofeminism has some answer to this, in that it tries to seize alienation as a force for liberation, or rather tries to envision a sort of positive alienation. For me, I function much better when I don't have to worry about keeping up appearances for other people constantly. I'm most productive when I go full hermit. In an ideal world, I want to control how much I'm exposed to people - while still, fundamentally, remaining part of wider society.

I think digital tools can enable this, theoretically - and, at least for me, transitioning to remote work/studying has indeed been a godsend... I still struggle with procrastination, but it feels like I get over that initial hump of getting started much earlier.

Ditching the one-size-fits-all model of progression. Especially so in elementary and secondary education; there's a very strong expectation that for every year, everybody goes up a notch in all these areas, fairly evenly. There needs to be more room to hyperfocus on specific subjects- and also to complete a course in a timespan that is not just Aug-Dec, Jan-May, or Aug-May.

How can we fix the world to accomodate people with executive dysfunction? Sometimes that shit makes me feel 100% useless

I just want televisions and any audio that contains advertisements to not be played at restaurants or in public spaces:(

I can manage to consciously participate in conversations with my family in loud places, but the second I see moving pictures or hear an advertisement, it's all I can perceive for a few seconds/minutes.

Hmmm....captions on everything so I can actually understand the show or podcast or whatever (mild auditory processing issues), co-workers and managers who understand if they ask me to do 3 things at once, no e of them are gonna happen, mental health days for when the brain just ain't working, an end to the stigma regarding ADHD meds (damn shrink figures since I'm mostly functional I don't need an increase)....I'm sure I could think of more but I should be sleeping.... Gotta work in slightly less than 6 hours.

Ditch the 9 - 5 work day. When I do 9 - 5 it feels like my soul is dying. I feel trapped & like I'm going to crawl out of my own skin after 3 months. I hate it when other ppl tell me what to do with my time, because I need mid day breaks or I risk having a career ending melt down.

I'm working on starting a small freelance business w/another neurodivergent comrade b/c we both loathe the 9 - 5 grind and would rather bust our butts on our own schedule.

Imo a 20 hour workweek, 4 hours a day, four days a week, would solve this.
