Stop identifying yourself as neurodivergent. Besides it being an incredibly unspecific term, it gives you a way to identify, and hence behave.
Instead, identify as something else that’s easier to get along with.
This isn’t some “woo magic thinking” suggestion, but it’s well-documented that we humans behave in ways that are congruent with our self-image. Change your self-image, change your behavior. (Or at least facilitate that change)
One other suggestion is to start filling your head with positive material that reflects who you want to be. For example, I wanted to stop giving myself excuses so I started listening to the Jocko Podcast. After even just a few days, I notice my mindset and behavior will shift.
This is what I do. So I guess it’s “advice to myself”, but maybe it’ll help you too.
Cheers mate.
