Polyennic Pride Month
October is Polyennic Pride Month!
Also recognised as ADHD Awareness Month, October is a time to celebrate polyennic minds and the many ways we can experience attention, energy, creativity and thought.
Polyennic, meaning ‘many thoughts’, was coined by Raven Cochrane as a neuro-affirming, depathologised alternative to ‘ADHD’.
Rather than viewing having many thoughts as inherently disordered or deficient, polyennic offers language that can honour cognitive difference while still recognising the very real challenges that can come with navigating a world largely designed around monoennic ways of being.
This October, let’s share with each other about polyennic ways of thinking, neurodivergence and Polyennic Pride.
