recently stopped me in my tracks.

Someone said they hate TikTokers who make fun of ADHD and AuDHD.

It got me thinking about the way I talk about neurodivergence online and why I choose to share not only the funny and relatable moments, but also the difficult realities of living with AuDHD.

In this episode, I talk openly about:

• Living with Autism and ADHD (AuDHD)

• Being sectioned as a teenager before understanding what was wrong

• The impact of executive dysfunction on everyday life

• Debt, relationships, burnout and mental health struggles

• Masking, shame and being misunderstood

• Why awareness needs to include the hard parts, not just the relatable memes

• The importance of honest conversations about neurodivergence

I recently Googled my own name and found a description that said I share my experiences of AuDHD, including “the shit parts” — and honestly, that might be the most accurate thing ever written about me.

This episode is a reminder that AuDHD isn’t quirky, cute or trendy. For many of us, it has shaped every part of our lives. By sharing the reality, I hope to help others feel seen, understood and less alone.
