A neon Venn diagram titled 'AUDHD SHUTDOWN' explains the overlap between Autistic Burnout and ADHD Fatigue. It details symptoms like sensory overload, foggy mind, communication shutdown, and emotional dysregulation, emphasizing it's a neurological crash, not laziness.
The Audacity of AuDHD
As a licensed therapist, I see this misunderstood all the time. AuDHD shutdown isn’t avoidance. And it’s definitely not a lack of motivation. It’s what happens when your nervous system says: “I’ve had enough.” For individuals with both ADHD and autism (AuDHD), the brain is constantly navigatin

these habits are not what self love looks like ❤️‍🩹
do any of these things sound like you? at different times of my life, these habits have been my norm. it took a long time to realize self love is a VERB! it’s love in action 🫶 and that means asking important questions about the things we do, say, think and feel. ⤵️ ➡️ are your actions the action

Finding Confidence: Say 1 Thing in the Mirror
What do you say to yourself in the mirror? There was a point in my life where insecurity consumed me. I was ashamed of my body and I thought I was ugly. My outward appearance reflected that in the form of unfitting baggy guy clothes, didn’t take the time to take care of my hair or face, and

Hyper-vigilance became the norm and calm the storm
Your body never got the memo that the danger is over. It's not just the grief, or the guilt, or the relief. It's the part of you that's still scanning — for a shift in tone, a long pause before someone replies, a door closing too hard somewhere in the house. You learned this for a

I know it’s not a norm but,
It’s what works for me. Growing up a military brat, I spent a lot of life on the move. It had its side effects, and it had its benefits. I won’t get into that all today. But I will mention that it helped create the little explorer that I am. (If that’s even the right description for it.) Ev

A book review for "We Hunt the Flame" by Hafsah Faizal, a fantasy novel. It features the book cover, a 2.25-star overall rating, and individual ratings for tension, content, sadness, romance, funny, and ending. Visuals include a map of Arawiya, a tree, a desert town, and character illustrations. The reviewer does not recommend the book.
We Hunt the Flame review 2.25 ⭐️
I probably would have eaten this book UP if I were still 13-18 but the writing just lacks the level of sophistication to hold up as a truly decent young adult fantasy. I’ll give it credit for having a cohesive plot. There are certainly a series of events that take this story from point A to point Z

An open book titled 'Yumi and the Nightmare Painter' rests on a stack of closed books, including one by Kate Khavari, on a wooden surface. The words 'Book Icks pt 2' are overlaid in white text, and the Lemon8 logo with username '@serena_bibliophile' is in the bottom left.
Book Icks: The Girl
When the narrator calls the adult female lead (fl) "the girl" Um, excuse me? Woman. There are so so so many other words you can use to describe this woman without using her name that aren't "the girl" Would we be calling the male lead "the boy"? No. No we would not.
