Danielle Ralston discusses radical self-care for people with ADHD, especially women. The key isn't just sleep and water, but practical support: help with decision fatigue, choosing tasks, and doing chores alongside someone else.

So many ADHD women argue with me about this, is support. We need support. And our support is, who's going to help me not have decision fatigue today? Who's going to help me pick what tasks to get done today? Who is going to sit next to me or with me to get my house clean, my paperwork done, work on client work, write content, whatever it is that you've got to do? Who's going to be by my side to do that? That is radical self-care for us with ADHD.
And okay, and it shouldn't be like that, okay, for anyone, neurotypical or neurodivergent. Radical self-care should not be— we eventually, we need to get to a place society-wide where radical self-care is not just making sure that you get enough sleep and water and food, okay? Because those are baseline functions.
