I love this…neurodivergent minds need a gentler approach with affirmations, these work well for those of us that need that kindness. Credit

Signs of Being AuDHD (Autistic + ADHD)

Some people have both Autism and ADHD — this combination is often called AuDHD.
It can be a unique mix of traits that make life both beautiful and challenging.

Here are some common signs that someone might relate to being AuDHD 👇

🔹 1. Constant mental tug-of-war
You want structure and routine (autism), but also get bored easily and crave novelty (ADHD). It’s like two parts of your brain pulling in opposite directions all day.

🔹 2. Deep focus… or zero focus
When something truly interests you, you can hyperfocus for hours.
But if it doesn’t capture your attention, it feels almost impossible to start — even small tasks can feel like climbing a mountain.

🔹 3. Sensory overload
You might get easily overwhelmed by sounds, lights, smells, or textures — especially when your ADHD brain is already overstimulated or tired.

🔹 4. Struggle with transitions
Switching tasks, changing plans, or stopping something you enjoy can feel extra hard. Your brain resists both the change (autism) and the executive function demand (ADHD).

🔹 5. Emotional intensity
You might feel emotions very deeply — happiness, sadness, frustration.
Small things can trigger big reactions, and it takes time to calm down again.

🔹 6. Social confusion and fatigue
You may overthink social rules, worry about saying the wrong thing, or replay conversations later. Even if you enjoy people, socializing can leave you mentally drained.

🔹 7. Difficulty prioritizing or finishing tasks
Your ADHD side wants to start everything at once, while your autistic side wants it perfect.
You might spend hours planning — but feel stuck actually finishing.

🔹 8. Needing “recovery time”
After social events, work, or busy days, you might need quiet time alone to recharge. This isn’t being antisocial — it’s how your brain resets.

🔹 9. Unique creativity and insight
Many AuDHD individuals see the world differently — you make unusual connections, come up with creative solutions, and notice details others miss.

💬 Remember:
AuDHD isn’t a flaw — it’s a neurotype.
Understanding it helps you build a lifestyle that matches how your brain truly works.

✨ If you relate to this mix of traits, you’re not broken — you’re wired differently, and that difference has incredible strengths.

End of Summer Slow Down
🌿 Friday 30th August | 6:30–8:30pm | The Paddock at Silvertree Wellness 🌿

As summer begins to soften, we’re opening a quiet, sacred space for anyone who feels called to pause…
To breathe, to reconnect, to gently come back to themselves.

We’ll sip herbal tea for self-connection, explore self-trust through the body, and share in soul-aligned chakra chanting and vocal expression.
It’s not about performance — it’s about presence.

Around the fire pit, under the evening sky, with marshmallows and community, we’ll honour the transition from summer to stillness.

This is an open invitation — no expectations, no pressure, just space.
All are welcome.

If it speaks to you, we’d love to share this time with you.
