I discovered that I had ADHD at age 42, and also have two kids with ADHD as well. We are a fully neurodivergent household and have learned a lot in the past few years in what accommodation work well for us. These are a few of our favorite things!

I have these in all rooms and use them to create reminders, alarms, and lists. I also listen to music and podcasts when doing boring tasks, and can also control the lighting!

Lighting is important to me, especially when I'm feeling ADHD burnout or light sensitivity. These Hue lights connect to Alexa and I can control the color and dimness easily throughout my home.

A weighted blanket comes in handy when I am overstimulated and need to rest. It also works well for my kids! The deep pressure sensation is very calming for my nervous system.

With my particular flavor of ADHD, noise sensitivity is a big deal. Loop earplugs go everywhere with me and are a life-saver if I'm feeling overstimulated or especially sensitive to noise. My kids wear them too and take them to school.

I work from home and sometimes need to take a break to reset my mind or to rest. Having this handy device keeps my computer "active" and prevents the burden of guilt for walking away from my desk for a bit.

With ADHD, I have to pace myself at work. If I work for long stretches I am prone to burnout. These timers come in handy to help me to work in shorter spells, allowing for rest and hydration throughout the day

Staying hydrated is key while working from home, but with ADHD I sometimes lose track of how much or often I am drinking water. These water bottles show a time stamp so that I can see if I've drank enough water depending on the time of day!

I work from home and sitting at my desk all day can feel confining. I love using my under desk treadmill to keep my body active while I'm working on projects.
