Alexandra Lioznov M.A., CCC-SLP

Hi I’m Alex and I am self diagnosed with ADHD. I have a masters degree in Speech and Hearing Science. I have been known to run my mouth too long and space out frequently, but I always get back to the point eventually. Growing up, I was repeatedly told I am lazy and just need to work harder. The problem was, I really wanted to work hard but my brain would not allow me to. I was also called overbearing and obnoxious and my impulsivity often led to unintended crudeness and talking over people. Since understanding why i do this, I have stopped being upset with others and have worked hard on myself to be more aware. I also thought I had a reading disorder growing up because it took me 20X longer (not exaggerating) to read books than my peers. I almost always finished my tests last or did not finish at all. Now as an adult, I understand that I am not lazy and I do not have a reading disorder, my brain is just a little funky and sometimes I need more time. I have learned to love my funky brain. I hope this practice can serve as a place where individuals with funky brains do not have to explain themselves. They are just understood, embraced and supported.
