My Awakening Report Snippet “Just completed the ADHD Awakening Assessment and one realisation cracked something open: I've been telling myself my pilot light is on the blink. Meanwhile I've done 446 morning routines in a row. I don't have a spark problem. I have a spark-direction problem. The hedgehog mode isn't depression - it's cognitive malnutrition. My Intellectual Stimulation scored a 1 out of 10. The Duracell Bunny needs other Bunnies.”

Hi, I’m Cherie and I’m from northern Wisconsin. My husband and I own an auto repair shop and I also work as a data annotator for AI. I am late diagnosed. I managed to function fairly well when I was younger but the ADHD has gotten so much worse with age and it seems like it takes everything I have just to keep up with the basics each day. I want to change that and that’s why I’m here. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone.

It would be interesting to learn what hobbies and interests you have? I am a keen genealogist and have been researching my family tree for the last 30 years. I have a passion to recycle and reuse things like old tires and make them into something useful, although the tires are still in the production stage. I take old plastic bottles and make them into flowers. I have made portraits using tiny Hama beads (fuse beads (aka Perler, Nabbi, or Hama). And it can take over 25,000 beads to make one portrait. I have just got into making miniatures. My husband has ME and he is in a support group, where the members create art and once a year they display their work for 2 weeks. We make things as a family and some of our creations have been displayed in St. Albans Cathedral which has just finished. Unfortunately I haven’t sold anything but would love to get a commission to make a Hama bead portrait and work out how to frame them and ship them. I have many other crafts that I want to try but haven’t got around to yet, but there is time! Here are a few portraits I have made, do you recognise any of these people?

were we supposed to start week four Thursday? or wait for tues
