AuDHD and Me

About this episode

The episode discusses the complexities of experiencing both autism and ADHD, highlighting personal experiences and the challenges of navigating these conditions together.

We are chatting honestly about how autism and ADHD can sometimes disguise, clash with, compensate for, or even confuse each other. Because when you are both autistic and ADHD, it isn’t always easy to explain what is going on internally. Sometimes ADHD pushes you towards novelty, movement, impulsivity and big ideas. Sometimes autism craves routine, predictability, clarity and recovery time. And sometimes they both show up at once… leaving everyone confused, including us! You can expect brutal honesty, real-life experiences, laughter, and the kind of conversation that says the things many people are thinking but don’t always feel able to say out loud.
