A Newsletter Catering to People With ADHD

I’m The ADHD Exec and founder of a free newsletter. I’m a family man and Finance Guy with over a decade in Finance.

I have ADHD & Autism after going decades not being aware I had a neurodifference. Life was challenging growing up, I had 0 support! No extra time in exams, resources etc. My weekly newsletter is about navigating life as a Neurodivergent within the corporate world, from the equipment support we may need to social, emotional and executive function challenges and anything my audience request.

After getting diagnosed with ADHD, a lot of things made sense to me about life and why I’m the way I am. I was at peace. It dawned on me that there could be other people going through a similar journey be it, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia etc. I like writing, and decided to launch a free weekly newsletter on this topic. I researched on Google, went on Youtube to find inspiration on famous neurodivergents. It was comforting seeing the likes of Richard Branson (Dyslexia), Steven Bartlett (ADHD), Elon Musk (Autism) and many other neurodivergents.

Success for me is empowering, educating, and inspiring as many neurodivergent individuals as possible. It’s about creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and supported, and bringing more awareness to neurodivergence as a whole. I measure success not just by metrics or revenue, but by the real impact my work has on the community I serve.

One of the most fulfilling parts of my journey is reading the feedback I receive each week from my newsletter audience. People share how my writing has helped them feel validated, taught them something new, or even encouraged them to take steps toward their own goals. It’s a reminder that every piece of content I put out has the potential to make a difference. For me, that’s what true success looks like—creating a meaningful connection and a ripple effect of positive change.

Looking back, I think one thing I’d do differently is collaborating sooner—like starting a joint venture newsletter with another neurodivergent individual. Partnering with someone who shares the same vision and passion could potentially double the impact by combining audiences, perspectives, and resources.

Collaboration brings diversity of thought and can help you see things from a fresh angle, which is especially important when you’re building something that revolves around community. I’ve learned that going it alone can be isolating at times, and the shared energy and support from a partnership might have accelerated my growth or helped me avoid some early missteps.

If you’re thinking about starting something similar, my biggest piece of advice is to stay consistent—especially with your writing. Consistency builds trust with your audience, and over time, it allows you to refine your voice and message. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed at first or question whether your efforts are making an impact, but showing up regularly is key to growing your platform.

Equally important is immersing yourself in the community you want to serve. Talk to as many neurodivergent people as you can—learn about their struggles, their goals, and their needs. This will not only deepen your understanding but also help you create content that truly resonates. Social media is a great place to start, as there are so many vibrant, supportive communities you can join.

Think of yourself as a frontline advocate for your audience. Your role is to speak to their hearts, help them feel understood, and amplify their voices. The more you connect with your community, the more your business will feel like a shared mission rather than a solo endeavour.
