Audhd

Living with AuDHD is like being a unicorn-misunderstood, contradictory, and often invisible to others. You shine with creativity and innovation, but struggle to fit in - always feeling 'too much'. Autism and ADHD pull you in opposite directions, creating a lifetime of contradictions no one else can see. AuDHD isn't listed in diagnostic manuals because until 2013, you couldn't be diagnosed with both conditions - despite a co-occurrence rate of approximately 50-70%. These two neurotypes often clash, like opposing magnets in the brain. * ADHD craves novelty; autism resists change. * ADHD misses details; autism hyper-focuses on them. * ADHD perceives time as 'now or not now'; autism sticks rigidly to schedules. * ADHD seeks stimulation; autism is easily overwhelmed. * ADHD thrives in chaos; autism needs structure. * ADHD says yes; autism says no. * Autism makes the rules, ADHD breaks them. * If you're exhausted reading this, just imagine what it's like to live it.
