The AuDHD routine paradox is one of the most frustrating things about having both of these brains inside my head at the same time. Autism wants structure. ADHD wants novelty. I spent years thinking I was just bad at being consistent until I realized my brain was never going to respond to the same r

Early signs my AuDHD nervous system is about to tip over

One of the most important things I’ve learned since being diagnosed is how to recognize the early signs of sensory overload before I hit full shutdown or meltdown mode. For most of my life I had no language for any of this, so I would just keep pushing through until I was crying in a bathroom somew

AuDHD self care but make it unglamorous

AuDHD self care is less bubble baths and more sitting in complete silence under a weighted blanket avoiding every form of sensory input known to man. The watching the same comfort show for the 47th time is the one that took me the longest to accept as actual self care. For a long time I thought I

So much of being late diagnosed is learning that “being able to tolerate it” and “needing to tolerate it” are two very different things. What’s one you’ve started accommodating? Follow for more real life AuDHD content from a licensed therapist. Accepting therapy clients in NY and FL and coaching c

Just ADHD things like getting up from my desk 47 times to do everything except the actual task I sat down to do. Somehow the plants need watering, the dishwasher needs unloading, and I urgently need to reorganize a drawer I haven’t opened in six months, all before I can start the email I’ve been pu

Autistic masking is one of the most invisible parts of being a late diagnosed autistic woman, mostly because you’ve been doing it so long you don’t even know you’re doing it. The emails one is still the hardest for me to let go of. Every message gets edited at least three times to make sure it sou

What most people label as laziness in ADHD is almost always executive dysfunction, and the two feel completely different from the inside. Laziness is when you don't want to do the thing. Executive dysfunction is when you desperately want to do the thing and cannot make your brain start. The gap be

things I finally let go of after my diagnosis

So much of being late diagnosed is realizing the things you spent years being embarrassed by were never things to be embarrassed about at all. For a long time these differences felt like proof that something was wrong with me. Now I have the language and the understanding to see them for what they
