Understood by Us

Life isn't always easy, and navigating life can be challenging when dealing with learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. Understood By Us is a website with content from young adults that share life advice as they deal with their disabilities. 

The site is made and updated by a small group of young adults who share advice for dealing with challenges relating to their disabilities. To quote their "Who We Are" section, "We have differences like ADHD, dyslexia, learning disabilities, anxiety, and more. Here’s our advice for how to thrive in school, work, and life." 

There are short video stories about several topics showcasing users and their unique situations, ranging from ADHD affecting your work, to reading with dyslexia. Below are a series of topics to explore, including helpful tips to go alongside them. These topics include classroom stories, life hacks, and self-motivation. Understood by Us really is a unique site that has a lot to offer for everyone, especially those who can relate to the many stories found there. The link for the website can be found below, under the Resources tab.

For all youth and young adults ages 13-26, register and join us in our weekly SPAN youth chats. We want to see you there and hear what you have to share! See under Resources.
