Ten commitments we keep

1 · Warm, not saccharine

The tone is that of a friend who's done the reading. No "you must", no expert posturing, no therapy-speak. We share what we know, and leave room for your own thinking.

2 · Rigorous, not cold

Every medical or numerical claim has a verifiable source. We cite meta-analyses, not influencers. We distinguish "proven" from "hypothesis" — without turning the text into a thesis.

3 · Anti-shame

Zero "you should", zero "normal people do this", zero punitive gamification. Chronic shame is an enemy of ADHD brains. We write to defuse it, not feed it.

4 · Anti-clickbait

No "10 hacks to cure", no "the secret doctors won't tell you". Titles describe what's inside. Promises match what we can deliver.

5 · Anti-productivity-cult

This site is not trying to turn ADHD adults into task machines. We talk about functioning, recovering, finding your own pace. Neoliberal productivity is not our north star.

6 · Name without boxing in

We use clinical terms (ADHD, AuDHD, RSD, masking) because they unlock the literature. But we refuse closed labels ("ADHDers are creative", "AuDHDers prefer...") that essentialise.

7 · Lived experience doesn't replace science; science doesn't erase lived experience

Studies validate general patterns. They don't know who you are. Our pages blend scientific rigour and sourced patient verbatims. Both count.

8 · Francophone at heart, not franco-centric

The site is primarily French. It documents the French system first. But the studies we cite come from around the world, and we progressively widen to other francophone spaces (Belgium, Switzerland, Québec) — and to English with this site.

9 · Accessible to every brain

Systematic TLDR, chunking, readable type, AAA contrast, dyslexia mode, focus mode, respect for motion preferences. A site that is not accessible to neurodivergent people has no reason to exist on this topic.

10 · Transparent about limits

Every page has a date. Every source is visible. When info is emerging, we say so. When a claim is debated, we say so. We publish our quality audits and errata publicly.
