L&M ADHD Friendly Tax Services

Adults with ADHD live shorter lives than those without a diagnosis, a new study finds A large study of 30,000 adults diagnosed with ADHD in the U.K. found women with ADHD died roughly nine years younger than women without a diagnosis. Men had about a seven-year shorter lifespan.

This is why we started this service. People with ADHD DO have unique challenges, and it effects every aspect of our lives.

We'll be recording a video this weekend the introduce ourselves to everyone.

We want to make sure we're providing valuable and helpful information, so please let me know what you'd like to learn about taxes, our service, etc. I'd also be thrilled to answer general money or budget questions.

similar vibes of mostly wanting to talk only about ADHD and neurodiversity 😁

He also inspired me to start our business venture. I'm excited to follow your journey as I'm at the beginning of the business part. 😁

I'm a huge fan of Ramit Sethi! He gives solid financial advice and doesn't shy away from how policy impacts real people and their money. I've learned a lot from him and would recommend his material for anyone who is looking to improve their financial situation in 2025.

U.S. based - thanks for asking. I'll add something to the profile.

This feeling is all too familiar! I'm a big fan of timers in our house as well. Even just 10-15 minutes add up!

And if taxes are the thing for you causing ADHD paralysis, please reach out to us and see how we can help!

Their theory is that those with ADHD have strengths that would have benefits hunter/gatherer communities - ability to identify patterns, and then the impulsive aspect led to more berries picked - i.e. they'd quickly leave the picked over bush and that strategy led to more berries picked overall.

It was a computer game where the participants had to pick berries. The ADHD group picked more berries. What the anthropologists noted was that those with ADHD would pick berries off a bush until it started to be picked over, and they'd quickly jump to a fuller push.

I recently read an article about evolution and ADHD specifically. Anthropologists basically assume that if neurodivergence is hereditary, there had to have been some benefit/strength they brought to their community.

To test this idea, they set up two groups: those with ADHD and neurotypical.

I love Ramit Sethi's approach!

We're based in the U.S., so for tax purposes, yes. We are looking forward to expanding and offering more general financial and budgeting help. I am especially excited to talk about tips and tricks to help people with ADHD build wealth.

Saying Hi! We're a new service based in RVA!

This is exactly why we started this service! I recently realized how much time and energy I put into masking. I want everyone to feel confident they can reach out to us with their tax and financial questions and show up as you are. -Lisa

We are so excited to be offering this!

And I forgot to add we will also include a virtual face-to-face or phone/email as well afterwards so we can answer any questions and provide a financial health "check up" as well for any other questions about your financial situation you might have. Whether that's savings, debt payoff, retirement.

Ultimately, I've had to reach out for professional services to fill in the gaps when I'm struggling and being able to find someone who is understanding can be hard, but absolutely invaluable.

We're also looking forward to offering budgeting and wealth growing tips as well.

We'll send reminders and visuals and videos to help assist as well, and we are absolutely committed to being patient and thorough.

Afterwards, we'll include a brief written overview, and include a few notes for tax planning for next year (i.e. credits to be aware of, lowering tax liability, etc.).

For the actual process, our services include an hour virtual consultation (or phone or email if face-to-face sounds anxiety-inducing) where we will go over tax situation, take the time to understand your financial situation, and then help make sure you have all documents, forms, etc.

A few weeks ago, we were at an event and felt really "different" as it was mostly neurotypical people.

I realized how much shame I carry, how much masking I do, etc. and I really want a service where people can show up as they are and they can feel respected and understood.

Absolutely!

My partner is an accountant and has done taxes on the side seasonally. I have a background in social work, specifically working with adults and children who are neurodivergent.

We both were diagnosed with ADHD as adults and all four of our children are neurodivergent.

Grandma Core speaks to me 😅

This is fascinating because I know more than a few people with EDS, and they are all neurodivergent.

I'd love to be included! My partner and I were diagnosed as adults and feel out of place amongst the neurotypical crowd. We've created a specialized tax service for people with ADHD. We're really looking forward to serving neurodivergent folx and helping them improve their financial situation.

This is more or less how I got a diagnosis. We took one of my kids to a pediatrician's appointment about their ADHD symptoms, and he said something like "well, having a parent with a history of ADHD..."

I asked which parent has ADHD and he matter-of-factly said me. He had no idea I didn't know.

This is such an interesting thought. Anecdotally, my parent that I think has undiagnosed ADHD was a chain smoker.
