Sometimes you accept one answer about yourself… and later realize it wasn’t the whole answer.
Understanding ADHD can feel like relief, and then confusion, when pieces still don’t quite fit. Noticing more traits afterward doesn’t mean you’re overthinking or “adding labels.” It often means you’re finally seeing yourself more clearly, and that’s where AuDHD comes to play. For far too long, the scientific community didn’t allow for two such diagnoses to exist at the same time, even though a link was overwhelming, and so people were diagnosed with only one. Sometimes, we even self diagnose as we grow older, but adding “autism” to an already stigma-filled ADHD diagnosis might seem like just a bit too much. But we’re here to tell you that is exists, it’s far more common than you think, and there are clear techniques to help guide through and manage AuDHD. At Talking Works, we have therapists specifically trained in this “new” combined diagnosis who can help you understand whether it applies to you and then how to manage it with techniques.
You don’t have to figure this out all at once.
Self-understanding unfolds in layers.
And every layer matters.
