Research Reshare!
Toward Neurodiversity-affirming Language for ADHD.

A graphic with a dark blue header reading “Research Reshare” above the Thriving Autistic logo. The main section shows a two-column table comparing “Neurodiversity-affirming preference” vs. “Deficit-based language to avoid.” Rows include preferred terms such as “person with ADHD/ADHDer,” “neurodivergent,” “ADHD traits,” and “attention differences,” contrasted with deficit-based terms like “suffers from ADHD,” “neurodevelopmental disorder,” “ADHD symptoms,” and “attention deficit.” A citation and link appear at the bottom.

The gold background contains the heading “Reflective Questions When Discussing ADHD” followed by four bolded questions with short explanations: positionality and process, biases and framing, meaning and precision, and consequences and responsibility. The research citation and link appear at the bottom.
