What's up with the "Confirm Your Subscription" email? (Monthly Patreon Newsletter Mishap)

Hi Everyone!,

A lot of you may have just received an email asking you to confirm your subscription to How To ADHD and since you didn't click on anything, you're probably wondering what the heck is going on! First, let me start by saying it's not a scam. It was however an accident so we apologize.

Here's what happened...

Tomorrow, the first edition of the Monthly Newsletter for Patrons is going to be released. Some of you indicated a desire to have a copy of the newsletter...

**UPDATED** How would you like to receive our monthly newsletter?

Hi Brains & Hearts!

The original poll has a close race between "email" and "both/I don't have a strong feeling" so we are actually pulling "Both/Don't have a strong feeling" apart as separate options... that way we know who doesn't mind versus people who prefer Both!

So if you voted on the last one please vote on this one too!

Apologies for the inconvenience -- unless you enjoy voting in polls then HAVE FUN! ENJOY! :D

Link: https://youtu.be/5XWeUvOpOYY

We live in a world designed for those who are Neurotypical, but when designing a world for those of us who have ADHD, we need to think about what it means to be "ADHD Friendly". So then, what does it mean to be "ADHD Friendly", and what makes it so?

What is ADHD friendly for you? How do you explain ADHD friendly to others? Comment below!

Want to know if something is ADHD friendly?

Hello Brains! We've got a video coming out tomorrow defining "ADHD friendly" and this is a rubric we're developing to help people evaluate the products & services they use BEFORE they buy them.

Everyone spends resources (time, money, energy, etc.) on products or services that don’t work out the way they had hoped. But those of us with ADHD do that a LOT.

Partly because we’re trying to manage our ADHD challenges -- and many products make shiny promises to help us...
