I'm neurodiverent too so I feel you! People are really rough on those with ADHD and making steps forward with all that trauma from "failing" or whatever from childhood is a real thing. You're exactly on point with the self acceptance/non judgement part, but it takes a lot of time to cultivate! So glad you've found the support you've needed and things that worked for you. That's one of the biggest components of therapy working and I'd say that often that connection with the therapist and humanistic element is missing here in the US, especially if you need to use the larger clinics on Medicaid. It sucks when therapists try to circumvent things before a trusting relationship has been made. Thank you so much for the Smiling Mind app meditation, it looks like it's based in AU which may be why I didn't hear of it! Another one I like is Buddify, and there's another app called FocusMate that I use as a life hack when I'm having problems completing tasks.
