"Regardless of how boys and men operate in school systemically, structurally in our societies, they still maintain power," Chemaly said. "So as long as that disconnect between performance and power is relevant, then investments in education become less and less important for boys."

ADHD isn’t rarer in girls, it’s just been missed. Research long focused on boys, leaving many girls undiagnosed. On (MIS)Treated, @namshine.bsky.social spoke with @cciccone.bsky.social about the “female protective effect” and her book "Nowhere Girl."

“…a child with ADHD receives 20,000 or more corrective or negative messages by age ten…” Yet science didn’t study how ADHD showed up in girls until the 1990s. On the next (MIS)Treated, @namshine.bsky.social talks to @cciccone.bsky.social about “Nowhere Girl,” and being diagnosed at 39.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

It was in second grade that writer @cciccone.bsky.social first understood the stakes of becoming overwhelmed by her environment. As a child with undiagnosed ADHD, she tried her best to blend in among her peers, but not having the space to express herself came at a cost. thewalrus.ca/adhd-girls/

My pal @cciccone.bsky.social has a book coming out soon on women, ADHD and the impacts of late-in-life diagnosis. I don't have ADHD and I still devoured this book because it's brilliant, heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny, and such a powerful example of misogyny in health care. Order it!

Like many students in Ontario, my kids can't access their school library on a regular basis due to budget cuts/board decisions that were influenced by a lack of funding from the provincial government. Reading is important. Elementary schools need teacher-librarians. PLEASE VOTE. #NotFord #OntEd

I did a call out on Twitter once, asking men what stopped them from being radicalized and I'll never forget the one dude who told me "I gave up going down that path as a young man when people in my life made me realize I'd never get laid; that what I was doing was NOT attractive to girls."
