Young, autistic and ADHD: moving into adulthood when you’re multiply neurodivergent.
Growing up unknowingly AuDHD was more difficult than it should have been. So I wrote a book about all the things I needed to know for this generation of AuDHDers to benefit from! ⬇️

So much budgeting advice I see out there relies on you not having ADHD and not struggling with executive functioning demands 🙃

Me to my brain during the one time my executive functioning didn’t fail me, and I got done what I needed to do!

Cats, don’t forget the cats running around our homes 🐈⬛🐈
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

So I remembered something I needed to do in real life suddenly during a dream, but as soon as I woke up, I forgot what it was.
Wondering if this is an #ADHD thing
or not?

One of my biggest ADHD challenges is resisting the urge to impulse spend.

“What I needed wasn’t to try harder to be “more social.” It was to be seen: to have someone recognise that being quiet, well-behaved, and unassuming doesn’t mean being content”

Did anyone else watched the channel 4 Doc about Hitler’s DNA?
The implications are dangerous (plus an SBC appearance doesn’t help either) 🤦🏻♀️

Something that sticks with me: Alice Wong didn’t really gain notoriety for her work until the last decade or so. How many people who use wheelchairs or who have significant medical disabilities does the world write off simply by how we visually perceive them? Farewell, Alice.

I could really do with some tips on how not to smudge glasses/how to clean the smudges properly. A few days in and I’m not managing this well 😂

Something about my experience of AuDHD is that I don’t relate as much to needing routines compared to many autistics.
I know routines would make things easier, but ADHD often means I can’t stick to them, and I find the idea of them overwhelming.

It’s my favourite week of the year where I live because half the neighbours still have their Halloween decs up, and half are putting up their Christmas lights.
It always makes me laugh walking around my local area, having the roads be a mixture of Christmas and Halloween. 😂
